Remember to keep the ignition switch all the way to the right until it catches.

It can take a little while and caught me out a few times.

Has the option to add it, yes. 

Pardon my ignorance on this.  Exactly HOW do I add autopilot to the 152?  I know how to do it in P3d, but I can't seem to figure it out in MSFS.

Thanks.

Reach for the tablet between the seats. You can configure everything from there. 

Thanks for the start up tips gentlemen,

Just a bit wary about flattening the battery.

How can I switch on the tablet? I can toggle it, but not switch it on?

Hello,

Nice mod but at times, it is frustrating because starting the engine is problematic. Fuel selector ON, battery ON, mixture rich, throttle 1/4,  engine prime 3 to five times, ignition ON and maintained but it refuses to start even with mild outside temperature. I don't know what to do.

You have to crank it and HOLD it for a good 3-5 seconds to get it to start.

Same problem here. It doesn't catch. I can't hold the ignition key as it jumps right back. Can anyone suggest a solution? Thanks

When you've got everything ready, and pumped the primer, click on the start key with the LMB and move the mouse slightly to the right. That keeps the key in the start position and she fires up. Don't use the mouse wheel to turn the key.

Remove the B787 Mod from your Community Folder when flying the C152. It interferes and blocks use of the Tablet.

Hello,

Sometimes it refuses to fire up either with my saitek switch panel or with the mouse. I've never been able to find out why. In addition I have experienced some CTDs. I've given up and uninstalled this aircraft. Too bad, I liked it. I think they should have added a flap overspeed damage feature. I may reinstall it when the starting process is fixed

There was a link in another thread to a google drive download for version 2.0.6. Is that the current latest version still? I don't have discord, so not able to keep an eye on updates since they left fs.to

To the people struggling to start it - sometimes I have to add a little extra throttle to get it going. Fantastically alive aircraft. I've messed up caring for the engine before (I think I ruined the spark plugs with improper priming) and mid way through a flight the engine starter lurching.

 

Cannot recommend the payware 172 mod enough either.
