July 7, 201015 yr Hi guys,I hope somebody knows about this issue and maybe there's a fix for it. i just upgraded from FS9 to FSX and experienced right from the beginning, that after a while, if I wanna start the engines from cold and dark, be it a default prop, a helicopter or a 3rd party (even a more complex one), the engine shuts donw 15-45 seconds after starting. It starts to run, but shuts down and cannot be fully started only by restarting FSX.The following addons are used:Win 7 Home Premium 64 bitFSX with AccelerationREX 2FSUIPC 4.30Maybe it is a known issue, maybe there is a workaround or a fix, please if somebody ever experienced this or knows about it, then drop me a few lines, possibly with a solution:-)Thank you!

July 7, 201015 yr I use a cold and dark file and have experienced this as well. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. An aircraft will work one day and not the other.The only thing that helps is to manually adjust the fuel levers on the TQ when the engine starts to spool up. The aircraft always load with them in the cutoff position. Sometimes they switch on automatically at start up. Sometimes they don't.

July 8, 201015 yr The tanks were full. It's something else I think.Not the tanks, the fuel cutoffs, make sure they are on. what plane are you using? Jay
July 8, 201015 yr Moderator Cycle the mixture controll(s) closed then fully open.Press Ctrl-Alt-F4 to make sure the fuel valves are opened completely. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
