I made two videos. In the second I also opened the Cowl flaps, but the result is identical.

I don't understand the question. You mean if I can start the engines on the default aircraft? If that's the question yes. I just started both engines of the default Baron from cold and start state normally.

No. Your default aircraft should already have the engines running...

Yes, they do. I loaded the Baron, both engines was running. What I described before was after I manually shut it down first. Default F-22 too has engines running when I load the default flight. But, how this problem passed beta testing?

As you can plainly see... you're the only one who has this issue. If, and it's a big if, it was everyone having it... do you not think that this thread would be filled with screaming clients?

we've sold just under 100 of these so far. Plus the testers... tha'ts around 130-150 people. You're, still, the only one with this issue.

Yoyo's video all but proves that it DOES, in fact work.

That's not to deny that you, indeed, do have an issue.

And yes, we are LOOKING at this issue but... it's 7am now and Sunday. A day of rest for most of our team.

So, either be patient (please) or we will give you a refund.

Thank you for the reply, I understand your point and I hope you also understand my frustration. I have sent you a pm regarding this.

I changed the followig to have the emgines started every time.

In the Aircraft CFG:
[piston_engine] // Lycoming IO-320-B
-
-
normalized_starter_torque= 6 // 5 //Starter torque factor

Changed the starter torque to 6.

Hope this helps all to start flying. :D

Thank you so much @appelboom ! Now it works !

So, is this a reason why it won't start with the default torque?

Really curious to hear the developer's opinion of why it needs the starter torque set to 6.

It doesn't need a starter torque of 6. It works at 5, at least for me. There is something specific about your scenario. I can not duplicate the problem. What airport are you flying at? What is the weather? I'm glad it is working for you now, but I would still like to know why it wasn't working for you.

Thank you for the reply. It is also important for me to understand why it was not working. I fly at the default P3D v4.3 airport. Default weather. I use Active Sky but for the tests I use default weather. I guess appelboom had similar issues to find that solution or he did it just for me? (I don't know).
