Problem with manual starting 777

Postby Emil » Thu Oct 30, 2014 11:44 pm

Hi, I'm having some trouble powering up my aircraft, a 777-200ER under FG 3.2.
When I use autostart ('s') everything works fine, but when I use the startup-checklist I can't get it to keep on working. Everything seems to work, engines are reved up, but when I turn off the APU and battery everything dies, and I can start all over again. When using autostart first, killing the engines and then restarting it also works fine.
It looks to me like the engine electricity generators aren't switched on or otherwise not delivering, but under the electricity part of the OH-panel it says it is switched on.
Anyone any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Here's an image of the OH panel after I started the engines, but before switching off the APU or battery:

I know it's not really a problem, but I'd like to do things 'for real', instead of just using the autostart.
