If I don't start the APU and switch the engines off it just goes to silence.
The engines just go from audible running to nothing and all I hear is the APU sounds. The drawback is when I arrive at the gate at the end of a flight and switch both engine switches off, there are no shutdown sounds whatsoever. I'm not too sure what effect CTRL+E has but it starts making a noise when I press them and then start engines as normal. So I did some extended troubleshooting a few days ago and have been flying with the A320 (CFM and IAE) and A319 (IAE) over the last few days and have discovered a workaround to the issue which does come with a drawback.įor the workaround, Instead of starting engines following the correct procedure of switching the engine mode starter switch to ignition and then starting both engines one by one (like the real world), I press CTRL + E, then switch the mode selector to ignition and start engines both one by one.
