Baron 58 - Cold & Dark. Unable to start engines

Featured Replies

I have not flown the Baron yet but have a flight planned for this afternoon.  I spent some time in the cockpit familiarizing myself.  Then I went through the Pre-Start and Start checklists to a "T'.  I cannot start the engines.  Backtracked through the checklists two or three times.  Still no joy.  Any ideas what I could be missing.  Fuel on, throttle cracked, full rich and full props, battery and alternators, boost pump.

Did you get them started?

I've done a few flights today and the only thing that I've noticed about the startup is that you have to hold the starter on with the mouse button until the RPM goes above 300 RPM or so. Just clicking through to the "Start" position will make the prop spin but maybe you're releasing your starter too soon?

That's all I can come up with. I hope it's something simple like that. The sim only requires that you have the fuel selectors on and the batteries on before it'll start.

That was the solution.  Works.  Thank you!
