I was indeed using the tutorial, so I guess they missed that small detail. If you follow the tutorial to the letter, you still get the engines started without burning them up, so that might be why they didn’t catch it.
In any case, it is a nice bird to have in my hangar! Thanks for the recommendation!
Btw, is that GTN750 plugin worth the money? Which aircraft can you use it with?
Ask @BeachAV8R. I’m sure that he feels as I do, that I can’t imagine life before it 
As far as aircraft, it will pop-up in any, but for panel integration, there is a bit of custom work needed. I’m finding that a lot of recently released aircraft come with custom panels for the GTN750, including most if not all of the Carenado/Alabeo/Thranda/JustFlight aircraft. The PC-12, Piper Arrow, Do228, etc.
You can download the Garmin simulator and play with it before buying, but it’s so intuitive and useful that you become dependant on the damn thing. The fuel planner saved my bacon a few times flying the gas guzzling GLJ-25.
While going from TNCS to TNCM I came acroos a Nimitz Carrier sailing west, so I took some shots.
That flaming wreckege are the remains of my Cessna - I landed fine but apparently trying to get to the hangar deck with the help of the elevator is a no-go in this sim 
Love it!
After a lot of thought, I have just pulled the trigger. Thanks for your observations Dan! My only concern is that the database won’t be easy to update. It is a pity that there is no option to use Navigraph, which I subscribed to for their FMS database updates . X-Plane 11 has turned into a bit of a money pit for me lately 
.
Next on my “want” list is the Bella Coola scenery, and maybe CZST Stewart airport too. I wonder how long I can hold out? LOL.
You and Beach are probably responsible for… 75% of my X-plane purchases
That’d make a great Air Hauler base. But does it have an instrument approach? (You could always build your own!)
Yeah, but now @PaulRix has the GTN750 mounted in his Twotter panel, he can scud run with confidence.
@BeachAV8R, unfortunately no instrument approaches for this one, so you would have to follow @chipwich’s lead and scud run to get in there. It’s a well defined valley though, so what could go wrong?
@damson, glad you like them! The rainy shot in miserable weather was using XEnviro 1.09. There are some circumstances where XEnviro is simply stunning. There are also times when it doesn’t look so great in it’s current form. The nicer weather uses the free FSE mod the clouds, but without Reshade, which doesn’t seem to like my PC for some reason.
I forgot to add that this cute baby jet accidentally fell into my shopping cart at the same time as I picked up Bella Coola.
It’s a Twin Otter. You can just navigate direct to the airport and spiral down at 50 knots in a 70 degree bank…
Thanks for the tip, I will have to check that free FSE mod out!
That would probably work. Here, hold my beer… 
I assume you’ve just quoted the Pilot’s Operating Handbook vertbatim there
So Chris, I tried this technique last night with a 400ft overcast and 1.5 mile visibility. With the help of the GPS keeping me over the valley, I can say it does indeed work, although I used a more sedate 40°ish bank angle. Kinda hairy but I got it on the runway!
Well, if you insist
Here are a few shots from a short hop KBOS - KACK (Boston to Nantucket). Scenery for Boston by MisterX and OrbX for Nantucket…
So, we start on the Signature ramp. This is a very good representation of the ramp there, with smaller aircraft parked on the front rows…
)…Our route will follow the SSOXS5 departure to SSOXS, then down to Martha’s Vineyard and from there we will fly the GPS approach to Runway 6 at Nantucket
Cold and Dark… The cockpit is pretty simple and cleanly laid out…
Powering up. The avionics seem to all be on the main battery bus. Plugging in the flightplan is very straight foreward with the “Garmin 750”. Aerobask did a nice job with their version of this unit. It is missing some features found on the Reality XP GTN750 standalone plugin, but that is to be expected.
With the flightplan plugged in, we taxi over to Runway 15R…
And we are off!
It looks like World Traffic 3 has routed an airliner along the same SID as us…
Our little Eclipse is not the fastest jet, we are soon overhauled…
Heading South following the SID…
Coming up of Martha’s Vineyard. The next waypoint is AFHAS, the initial approach fix.
The weather has been decent all the way down here, but just our luck, we go IMC just as we turn onto the final approach course:
We break out at 600ft as predicted by the ATIS cloud base report.
On final…
A nice smooth touchdown! Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile!
I turned off Runway 6 onto 15 before entering the ramp. The Nantucket scenery is really nice (and on sale right now too)…
I decided to park next to the Tower by a Cape Air C402 (?).
My initial thoughts are that it is a fun aircraft to fly. Small enough to still be considered light GA, fast enough to get you a decent distance even if you don’t have a lot of time to play with. It is simple to fire up and the avionics are great. The auto-pilot is a little quirky though and it will do it’s own thing if you don’t pay attention (particularly when it comes to altitude changes and the auto-throttle system. If you keep an eye on things though, it really isn’t a problem. I’m going to have a lot of fun with this little jet!
So, yeah, OrbX sale… mumble mumble.
Fond memories of my early simming days 
, and a dream stolen by Mayor Daley 
…
Ever since I first played FS I wanted to fly into Meigs Field, Chicago. I thought I would achieve that when I moved to the States and started flying seriously back in 2002, but I never got the chance unfortunately.
OrbX did a wonderful job bringing this iconic airport back to life.
