February 4, 20224 yr I am using the Honeycomb Alpha Yoke. Is there a way to start the twin engines one at a time, ie first the right then the left? I seem to remember a keyboard shortcut to separate them 🤔 or was that P3D
February 4, 20224 yr Moderator I don't know if it works in MSFS but you could hit E +1 and then E+2 in FSX and P3D. Try hitting E+2 and then turn the start switch on then Alpha and see what happens. Let us know if it works. Â RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160Â
February 4, 20224 yr Author Yes I remember that now. But unfortunately MSFS says no 😥 I can't use the mouse either. Edited February 4, 20224 yr by Paulcoy

Having them bound to the Honeycomb will probably mean that the Honeycomb is forcing the magnetos to the off position, or whichever position your Honeycomb is currently in while attempting to use the mouse.

Yes. Great point. I believe I unbound that Alpha rotary switch on about my third day of ownership.

February 4, 20224 yr Author Thanks all for your help. My main aircraft of choice is Rob Young's Bonanza, so for the few times I fly the Baron ( which apparentley used to be called the "Twin engined Bonanza" ) Â I think I'll leave things as they are. Once again Thanks Edited February 4, 20224 yr by Paulcoy

Once again Thanks Yes. The RYTB is also my current go-to aircraft. I logged quite a number of MSFS hours early on in the Baron, but the RYTB flies better, at around the same cruise speeds, and with just over half the fuel consumption. The Baron is buried in my hangar and has been since I did a clean reinstall of MSFS around July 1 of last year. The RYTB is an absolute win, win, win.

Some people like them…as a baron 58 owner, they are ugly as sinÂ
