June 2, 20233 yr All of a sudden in the last two days I can't start the turbo Bonanza. I haven't changed any of my controller settings (HC Alpha & Bravo mapped in SPAD.neXt). It's been fine until now. I have used the Reset all Failures key on the wx radar but no luck. Is anyone else having the issue? Any suggestions? The Baron is a bit better but still harder to start than before. Is this a cummulative engine issue with the BKSQ aircraft?

June 2, 20233 yr What does your engine percentages say? I would think "fix all failures" would work on all issues. I hadn't flow the Bonanza for a couple weeks and it flew fine a day or so ago. It can be finicky, as can the Baron, but I find the amount of time you run the pump and how much throttle you introduce makes a huge impact. - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired

I need to run the pump for much longer than 3 mississippi's to get it to start.

June 2, 20233 yr I've found pumping the throttle a bit while cranking helps. Richard Chafey i7-8700K @4.8GHz - 32Gb @3200 - ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero - EVGA RTX3090 - 3840x2160 Res - KBSim Gunfighter - Thrustmaster Warthog dual throttles - Crosswind V3 pedals MSFS 2020, DCS
June 3, 20233 yr Swapping to a new livery should eliminate any accumulative issues like fouled plugs. Are you using live weather ? Perhaps the outside weather is different. I know with the 247D a cold start on a very cold day was near impossible (in real life as well, they used to preheat the engines) .
June 3, 20233 yr After a flight, shut down and open the left side window, listen to the "tings and pops" of the engine metals cooling. Eventually as the engine cools the sounds fade away. That is such great detail and immersion, I love this bird! EDIT: Sorry I know that isn't much help, I really do not know why yours is not starting... Edited June 3, 20233 yr by KERNEL32
June 3, 20233 yr Author Thanks all. Some combination of the above seems to make it better. I’m using SPAD with HC Alpha / Bravo. I have the mag switch starter set to LVAR:STARTERKNOBRETURNTIME = 3sec delay.
