March 15, 201214 yr Hi GuysJust purchased this aircraft for something smaller to fly than my airliners ( Ifly 737, LDS 767, Dreamfleet 727) and I'm having a bit of trouble.Start with default Cessna 2D panel, shut down batts, avionics, ignition etc, load up Kingair 2D, follow checklist... power levers at idle, propeller levers fully forward and condition levers at cut off. Batts on, press right hand ignition button, let N1 build upto 12% and advance condition lever upto low idle, prop starts spinning, at or above 50% before i can switch off ignition button prop spools down as if no fuel is getting to engine, I am positive the fuel panel is set right. I have watched various Youtube vids to double check switch settings etc. and everything seems fineAny Ideas why this is happening am I missing an obvious step, I cold & dark start all my other aircraft no problem.Many thanksNic

If you have full realism set you may have damaged the engine and need to pay for "repairs." (The first few times are "covered under warranty" LOL)
March 15, 201214 yr Author Thanks for the reply, checked realism menu and all is well replaced both powerplants and still no luck.... all a bit odd really.RegardsNic

March 16, 201214 yr Author Thanks guysAt work at the moment will try all these suggestions tomorrow.RegardsNic
March 18, 201214 yr Author Perhaps try loading the default Cessna first. But don't shut down. Exit back out of flight. Load Aerworx B200. Engines will be running. Then go through the shut down procedure as per the manual. The carefully then go through the start procedure not missing an item. See if this then works and the engines start. I've sometimes had trouble with some add-ons after doing the cessna shut down thing. Don't know why.If that fixes it, shutdown and save that in the menu as b200 cold an dark or something. Then next time, load cessna - don't shut down, exit again, then load b200 c+d and it should be fine. And if that doesn't fix it, i've got no idea what it is.Otherwise > Aerworx support forum. Those guys are great. Very helpful.Jon.Just the job worked perfectly Thanks once againNic
March 19, 201214 yr Used with other turbo-props and jets I have the default King Air in a c&d parked state with the clear weather theme saved as my default flight. This avoids setting up first one aircraft then another.The default flight is called up to initialize the various FS engines as soon as FS starts even in menu mode. It even affects my PMDG 737NG models. Before I did this the when I selected a flight (in the parked condition) the engines would start and then starve.
