The startup procedure is relatively easy, it's just about pressing a few buttons and waiting a couple of seconds. so nothing too complicated. The images that follows are taken from an in-game footage of the editor; i was using the same "Light" helicopter used in the Training area of this game.

QUICK-NOTE: this is the panel that you need to check to be able to understand the engine RPM. Remember that the position in wich this indicator is present, will be different for every single helicopter.










1) "Batteries-on" you need to turn the Battery on to activate all the electrical components.










2) "Starter-on" (Engine-1) i wrote "Engine-1" because certain aircrafts will have multiple engines, so if a certain helicopter has 2 engines you will have to turn on the Starter for both of them before moving to the next step.










- Now you need to wait for the Engine to be at 12% at least.

3) "Throttle-idle" you need to put the Throttle to "idle", same thing for the starter; if the heli has more than one engine, you'll have to put in "Idle" mode both engines.










-Now wait for the Engine to be at 65% at least.

4) "Starter-off" (Engine-1) now you need to turn off the Starter, same thing as before if the heli has more than one engine.











-Now wait roughly 15 seconds to let the components of the helicopter warm up. (You can always increase the In-game speed)

5) "Throttle-full" (Engine-1) now you need to put the Throttle to full mode, this will increase the RPM of the Heli blades at their maximum. same as before; if the heli has more than one engine, put both engine in "full" mode.

To shutdown the Helicopters you'll need to do certain Startup procedure backwards.

1) "Throttle-idle" first thing first, you need to turn the Throttle in "Idle" mode.










-Now wait for the engine to be at 65%, so it'll cooldown a bit.

2) "Throttle to off" after getting the engine RPMs to 65%, you can turn off the Throttle completely to drop the RPMs. Be aware that to turn off the Throttle, you'll need to point at it with "ALT" key to look around, and use the mouse wheel commands and press "Throttle-closed" to turn it off.










3) "Batteries-off" since you do not require to keep the battery on and waste electricity and fuel, you can now turn off the batteries.










The only thing now to do, is to wait for the blades of the helicopter to reach 0-zero RPMs.
