Ignition Panel
The real panel was a part of the engineers position & was a lot more complex in its function than the model.
The model has a very basic single switch starter for each engine.
It was located on the corner of the engineers desk, hence the strange shape.

1 : Engine Starter Switches
Make sure the LP Cock (fuel panel) is open for the engine before starting.
The starter switch needs to be held in the 'Up' position until the engine starts.
For some reason the starter switches give the engines a bit of a rough time, compared to the more gental FS 'auto start' option.

2 : Battery
Master switch for electrics.

3 : Avionics
Master switch for avionics instruments.
