All the shift commands are in the back of the manual. Scott.

Hey guys,
I really apreciate the great support. I got the engine started and I have become good at starting it. There is a big However, :D . I have no oil pressure and no hydrolic pressure. What am I doing wrong? I start the engine on the runway and rev it up to about 1000rpm then I wait in vein for pressure to build but no dice. What is the back of the manual? I got this as a download.
I really cant wait to fly this thing. Its nice.

Awesome! Maybe this is what I need. I will go to bed now but check tomorrow. I still cant find where all these commands are. I feel like I am riding the short bus :|

Thanks Norforce

Just spent a week falling in love with FSX. But now I cant use the Shift keys. No Shift 3, No Shift 7 and never saw Shift 4. I may have to do a complete reload. Ahrrr. Oh well, that is Sim flying...

Fellow pilots.
I resolved a number of issues thanks to you guys this week. I am a total FSX Noob in spite that I have had FSX since before it was FSX (2004). I just never flew it until recently. Now I am hooked.
My last post shows what a noob I am. When I was going through my commands in FSX and deleting everything that I dont use and might cause conflict I deleted these:
Panel Window 1 (display/hide) Shift 1
Panel Window 2 (display/hide) Shift 2
Panel Window 3 (display/hide) Shift 3

There are nine of them. If you delete these you get no hanger, Oil or FSX windows. So be aware.

A great thanks to all of you who help us idiots. I am now off to fly.

Have a great day pilots.

Hello

The shift - 2,3,4 etc are default commands to bring up an aircrafts 2d panels so they can be used across the board. Manuals for the aircraft can be found udner start menu >> all programs >> A2A Simultions, recommended reading for new comers.

thanks,

Sorry, I am frustrated... Working on this for a week and still not flying.

When I have a dead battery, which A2A models so well, I use the auxillary power unit found in the shift-3 menu so as to crank, takeoff and charge the battery in flight. This is an alternative to a trip to the hangar. I was 'frustrated' with my Accusim P-51 for a couple days (a number of issues) all due to ME not truly studying the manual and I heartily recommend the P51 instructional video too..very informative and answered (by show & tell) lots of stuff I was missing in my haste to get airborne without the proper knowledge beforehand. Now I so very much enjoy my daily VFR round trip from CZST (Stewart, B.C.) to PAKT (Ketchikan Intl) and I sure get therer a lot faster than my Cessna 340 ..waiting on the "D" now.....using Orbx products on all related scenery regions and airports.

TYVM A2A for a rewarding learning challenge and subsequent thrilling flight experience. I still "Fly the CUB" A2A 8)

Hello,

can I please ask for you to start a new thread and describe what products you are using and also as many details about the issue as possible so we can help get you up and flying.

Reinstall the P-51 Accusim pack on top of the military model and the civilian model. The Accusim pack should always be last.
