- Battery ON, fuel pumps ON
- Move the fuel levers to the position shown in the picture, just a bit out of the cut-off slot.
- Press the starter buttons as shown on the picture.
- Make sure the fuel levers are pulled down all the way to the FLIGHT slot.
- Check the collective lever motion in virtual cockpit. If there is some collective applied, the rotor won't accelerate to full speed.
- If the collective lever does not move in the VC, the control cofiguration is most likely incorrect. See next chapter of this document.
- First make sure that the "Dauphin.cfg" is exists in the main FS2002 directory. If not, it must be moved from the panel folder of the aircraft.
- To find correct axis identifier for a controller axis:
- Go to control assignments in Flight Simulator
- Find the axis assignment that is not working properly and note the identifier in the 'Axis' column
- If the identifier is "X-axis", "Y-axis", "Z-axis", "Rx-axis",
"Ry-axis" or "Rz-axis" the same identifier most probably works with the
Dauphin configuration. If there is any other id, then the required
identifier might be SLIDER0 or SLIDER1.
Note the correct syntax for the identifiers: for example "Rz-axis" would be just rZ (case sensitive!) in Dauphin.cfg. These are listed in the 'Controls'-section of the manual. - If the identifier found in the FS assignments doesn't work, the only way to find the correct one is to try all the possibilities as listed in the manual and see what works.
