September 17, 20205 yr 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.

September 17, 20205 yr 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. AMD 7800X3D, RTX 4090, 42" LG C3 OLED 4K TV/Monitor
