Straight float startup.
Hello,
I have been enjoying flying all the PC-6 models for a few days not and must congratulate you on a great product.
I am however having a small problem, I have the aircraft set in the MVAMS to cold and dark, and I start the aircraft from scratch each time, now this is no problem, except in the straight float model where the turbine just will not start, where as the other models using the same procedure (as in the manual) work fine.
I turn the battery on, inverter on (tried 1 and 2, normally use 1) then make sure the fuel is at cutoff, turn the fuel valve on, fuel pump on, starter on, 12/ng ignition on, 16-18 fuel to low idle (tried high as well) and then it just hangs slowly creeping up to 20% ng on the starter motor, but never lights off like it does in the other models (usually about 18.5 - 18.7 %ng.
I find it odd that the other models start fine, but there seems to be a problem with the straight float model, which is one of the ones I want to use the most.
Oh, and I have tried uninstalling the whole aircraft and reinstalling it to no avail, same problem on the straight floats only.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
It seems there is an issue with start procedure in Straight Float model. Will be addressed in the incoming SP.
Thanks!
