All I can think of, is mixture settings at high altitude airports. I know that some engines will stop if the mixture hasn't been leaned.L.Adamson

What I have found to work is holding the CTRL-E key pressed until the engine starts to crank, thats what I had to do wih my add-ons and it seems to work. If you just tap the keys it wont start, you have to hold them down until it happens.Hornit

Hi!and thanks for replying.I have tried that, but engines just close and shut down.A mysterious thing.I will have to try something different.Thanks anyway!Hans HermanssonSWEDEN

You can decrease the idle_rpm_friction_scalar=1.000 or improve the idle mechanical efficiency scalar;or ...if turbocharged=1 change min_design_mp=nn.nnn to a higher number ( like from 10.000 to 12.000)This helped with the Aero Commanders.Milton
