Hi Rainer,
just tested the Lama! It worked for me!
Starting the engine is a bit tricky, but it really works!
I tried the cold and dark flight from Raron-Base (Swizerland). You will find it in your saved Flights in FSX.
Do the start as it`s described in the Manual. I think the most tricky part is the starter button under the save guard.
1. start as manual suggests..
2. Pressing the starter button
click with the mouse ob the save guard and it´s opened. You see the starter button
When you put the mouse trigger on the upper side of the starter button, the mouse button changes to a hand-symbol with a + on it.
Then click on it...you see a green light illuminating and you will hear a sound signal.
Next move the mouse button to the lower side of the starter button, the mouse button shows now a hand-symbol with a - on it.
When you see this...click again with the mouse, and the engine starts now!
Next pull the Throttle lever ( left beside the collective lever) to about 30%, then after a few seconds to 50%)
3. Continue as Manual says.....
Et Voila ...it should work.
I did a short flight with this old Lady.....Wow, she`s so beautiful!!!!! I love the Lama! For me, one of the best FSX-Heli`s.
Don`t forget, you need the right pedal to counter torque induced yaw, it`s a french built heli
