I have just purchased the R66 from the X-Plane.Org store and it was updated by the STMA Auto Updater to v1.1C
My problem, is that as I go through the checklist, I come to the item "Start button - Push and Release"
I presume from the POH that this is the button at the end of the cyclic alongside a switch of unknown function. (Shown as "ignition button" in the POH)
Although I get a "hand" when hovering over this switch, I cannot get it to move in order to start the engine ignition sequence. I have also made a key combination for ""APU Generator On" which the manual says is the command linked to the start function. Again, this does not move the button at the top of the collective (nor does it activate the "sim/cockpit2/electrical/APU_generator_on" dataref)
Any ideas why this is so?
Bit disappointed as I was looking forward to my first flight.
Windows 10 XP11.52r1

The other switch is not-in-use in the simulation model (in the current version). Have you released the rotor-brake before starting the engine? It won't start unless you will release it... Let me know if you need further assistance!

Thanks for the swift response! Apologies, I meant the Collective. I tried again with the R66 on another X-Plane installation and the start sequence worked, so must be "finger trouble" or perhaps plugin interference, but I know it should work now. Thanks again.
