October 11, 201312 yr I just flew this dandy bird after a lengthy time from my last flight with it. I cannot start the engine with the panel start button. The engine cranks and the prop turns over and seems to make an attempt to start, but then dies. With the Ctrl + E keys, she starts up fine. I don't remember this problem from some time past and am afraid I am overlooking where it might be addressed anywhere in the documentation. My search on this forum found no issue either. Anyone know what I am missing here? Thanks: RTH
October 11, 201312 yr Author Sorry for the double post. Have no idea how or why? Please feel free to delete one of them. Respectfully: RTH
October 11, 201312 yr RTH, In the aircraft.cfg scroll down to the [piston_engine] section and modify the following line - normalized_starter_torque = 0.668 //0.158 This was an effect of the port over from FS9 to FSX, FSXs starters dont have the punch they did in FS9. One of my favs in the hangar!! :-) FS RTWR SHRS F-111 JoinFS Little Navmap
October 24, 201312 yr Author Thanks loads. That did the trick. I will have to remember this as I may have another plane or two with the same problem.
