I can't seem to start the Baron 58 in FS2K2. I follow the startup sequence exactly but the starter switch does not stay engaged long enough to kick the engines over. I don't have this problem with any of the default prop A/C or the Piper Saratoga II. The switch works normally on all except the Baron. I've installed the Steve Small air files. Anyone have any suggestions?

You need to hold the switch down until the engine starts.Jay

Yeah, I had the same problem too. It is a bug with FS2002. You need to use key commands to do this. Press E and then 1 or 2 depending on the engine. Then press M and then + or - to move the mag switch (this is using the default key mappings). Hope this helps. Robert

>You need to hold the switch down until the engine starts. >>Jay That's the problem. The switch does not stay down.

Well yes but you can do it with the mouse:- hammer on the left mouse button until the engine starts- if you have a scroll wheel: move it over the (+) area of the magneto switch and roll continously up until the engine startsRegards :-wavehttp://flightsimmers.net/airport/etti/signature_pro.jpg

You can fix the problem yourself...In the aircraft.cfg, there's an entry which is something like "starter_torque"..... Increase the number in this entry until you find a setting which provides a realistic startup for the engines...-John

I guess I'll do what everyone else flying the Baron must do and leave the damn thing running!

Sounds like an old Chrysler. :-lol

Another way to do this is to click, click, click your left mouse button as rapidly as you can until the engine starts. Usually about four clicks, I think, will get it kicked over and started.

Hi Dean,I'm badly looking for Steve Smalls air file. Can you tell me, where to get it?Thanks, Thomas.
