PM-systems startup checklist for 737NG
Hi all,
I am considering PM-systems but I have some trouble getting it started up. I use the PMDG 737-700 which starts with (some checks omitted):
1. turn on battery;
2. turn on AFT Left 1 fuel pump;
3. start APU;
4. when "bus gen" lights turn on, switch on both bus generators;
5. make sure engine bleed air is off;
6. turn APU bleed air on.
After this, the checklist continues, all the way until engines are started. However, with PM-systems there seems to be another sequence of events required, because the APU-related gauge has its needle stuck to "zero" and the lights do not turn on.
I am using a modified panel.cfg for the PMDG 737-700, that has everything removed after the first [window] section, and also all gauge lines for this first section.
Is there a checklist available? Am I doing something wrong? Should I also remove the first [window] section from the panel.cfg?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Edwin.
