one engine wont start in FSX steam

Featured Replies

Hi, I have FSX steam on a cyber power PC with a GTX1070 and a AMD processor. However when I load the game now with almost any add on plane it starts the game with one engine off. I've gone through correct checklists to start it and I have even started other engines on the plane but there is always one engine that refuses to start. Whats going on? Can anyone help?

Did you change the aircraft in the default saved flight?  I have found that if the default saved flight uses the stock Cessna 172SP with the fuel selector set to "both" and the ignition switch set to "both magnetos" there are no issues with starting other aircraft, especially add-on aircraft.

My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.

Try <Ctrl>-<Shift>-F1 to turn on fuel flow to all engines. One of them might have the fuel cut off.

I believe  "<Ctrl>-<Shift>-F1 to turn on fuel flow to all engines"  actually SHUTS-OFF the fuel flow:

It's  <Ctrl>-<Shift>-F4 to start the juices flowing...

Yep! An even better idea is to set up your default flight (using the default Baron or 172) and we,tying the mixture to full rich before saving.

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

Yep. I did get that wrong.
