Some of us have encountered a problem using the procedures outlined in the manual for a cold start. Setting the switches and controls in the proper position and going thru the Prime, Start, Vibrator sequence, the engine tries to start but will not turn over and run. The MP gauge drops down from the barometric pressure, and the RPM begins to increas, but then it stops and returns to the cold off position. To clarify: 1. Battery on 2. Gen on. 3.Ignition Switch on and Mags on both. 4. Fuel on. 5. Mixture in Full Rich. 6. Throttle cracked approx 1/2 to 3/4 inch. I hope someone has come up with a fix for this.Jesse

Hi Jesse,Make sure your frame rates are not set above 30 in the display settings. This is a well known but totally mysterious bug affecting some video cards and systems. There are several threads about it in this forum. Even more strange, sometimes if you open a second window with an outside view, the start will proceed normally, even without an adjustment of the frame rate!Bill RambowMAAM-SIM http://www.fssupport.com/maam/hgrsm_blkani.gif
