This is normal, dial up the speed on your DCS
Remote to make your engine move.
An engine may do this right out of the box if it
has not been lubricated. Follow the lubrication
instructions. Now go ahead and run it.
New engines even after they are lubricated
may take a little bit to get everything run in. Be
a little patient and let it run for a bit. It should
clear up shortly after lubricating and running.

and begins the arrival sequence. Pressing the
DIR button will cycle you through the next 3
