Circling back on this as I recently did a clean install of Prepar3D and moved to 4.2 which also meant a clean install of the PC-12.

  • As d.tsakiris mentioned if I used the Carenado Cold & Dark panel setting I had issues starting the aircraft and had the massive torque surge on start-up.
  • If I used the Ready for Taxi panel state the aircraft started up just fine, no torque spike and the pumps and ignition both remained in Auto.

So I created a new default aircraft load state using the Beechcraft King Air 350 that's included with Prepar3D and configured it with the following conditions:

  • Batteries off
  • Avionics off
  • Throttle at 0%
  • Condition levers at 0%
  • Prop levers at 0%
  • All lights off
  • Main door open

(Saved it as default, restarted sim)

Now when I load the PC-12 (directly from the menu, not loading another aircraft first) I have completely cold and dark aircraft with the door open. But I still had the startup surge issue and the fuel pumps requiring the ON position vs the Auto position. So I went back to my default King Air and set the Prop levers to 100% (everything staying the same).

I now have zero issues with the startup of the aircraft. No torque surge and the fuel pumps/ignition remain in Auto.

Most of the flight simulation community is pretty toxic and gets easily worked up about little things. Just go into it knowing that.

That seems really strange to me. But if it works, why not?

With me it worked. I opened a ticket, they said they would look, they did not answer me and they closed the ticket.
