Hi,I haven't seen such a start problem on either FS9 or FSX.What happens if you click the Engines On/Off switch on the panel ?Rob

whoops, I just realized my mistake. I hotkeyed "engine failure on/off" on my joystick instead of "engine shutdown". no wonder I couldn't restart them. Hope I didn't waste any of your time.thanks for getting back to me though. Are there other active threads about these M400 models that you designed? This guy ( http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=TBrdOne&view=videos ) put a couple videos on youtube earlier in the year with the older model. I am hoping to post some similar videos with your new model (if that is okay with you) if I get my act together. never made a video, let alone a flightsim video, before so it has been education. One issue, that you are probably well aware of, is that animations, such as the folding wings, don't show up in the replay mode. Tbrdone responded to me that he FRAPS'd those scenes live while flying.If I ever get some videos on youtube, I'll post a link here.thanks again.

Hi,Yes, hotkeying EngineFailures won't help in restarting the engines ...LOLOf course, feel free to publish any video's if you create them...As you noted, some animations aren't working in the standard FS Replay function (because not all events are logged). You could also try the freeware "FS Recorder", which does a much better job IMO.Although even that isn't perfect, like it doesn't record local gauge-variables that might be important (it probably isn't even possible).Bit as you said, just record a flight with FRAPS realtime, which works without problems. WHen needed, you can always combine/edit FRAPS video fragment into one final video, with a Video editor program.Cheers, Rob
