I bought the Bell 47 today on MSFS Marketplace, and I am very impressed! Had to turn all sensitivities way down to be able to fly it, but wow, what a nice experience!

One question: Is there a way to assign a MSFS command to the starter button on my collective, so pressing that button starts the Bell 47 motor?  
I tried several (Engine Start Toggle, Ignition) but none worked. I always have to use the mouse to press the red button on screen…

Thanks in advance!

Hi Stan,

If you use the MSFS event - Magneto\_Start , that should work.

Cheers,
