The "Page Up" key is what is default. "Page Down" will shut the engines down.

Striker,

man I tried what you said and no go there either...What else can I do??? Im lost and getting frustrated...I want to practice but I cant get the jet to run and I cant even get into the cockpit in the training files...Now if I do the "fly" option on the main screen I can fly and turn the engines on and off with the page up and down key... Do i just need to re-install the mod??? Thanks for the help... m sure your tired of answering stupid questions..

Thanks
AJ

Go into the options area in Lock on and under the input area select keyboard. Look to the right and select flight. Scroll down until you see engine start. Then you will see the key command needed, or change it to one that you can remember, which is what I did. See picture below.

Hope this helps.

Convertible,

I looked on the options menu and I didnt find those keys, but I did get my engines to star/stop when I did a mission under the mission editor page..However, I tried to fly on the VTB training and it wont start and it keeps coming up as the boss's plane no matter what I do..are those ftwo trying files for mulitplayer only??? Thanks

SP vs. MP, all you need to do is change "client" to "player" in the mission builder. http://www.virtualthunderbirds.com/foru ... .php?t=844

Engine starting, shift+home and alt+home starts the right and left engine. Of course we're assuming you use version 1.12a. Keys could have changed over different versions and if that's not what you're using I don't have a clue... You'll have to reference the doc files that come with the installation (check the key reference doc in the doc folder) and then follow the splendid explanation Convertible gave.
