• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSXA Autostart for Piston Engines

It must be something I've done but suddenly none of my piston engined types will start. Jets and turbo's are OK CTRL+E has been checked. Using E+ number has no effect on which engine tries to start.
The prop turns over as long as CTRL+E is pressed, throttle position has no effect, but stops as soon as they are released. This applies to the default C172 as well. Air starts using slew to height can be done and all is normal afterwards.
I wait in hope. cheers Laurie

I spoke too soon! After about six starts the problem is back. Now nothing is started initially but Turbos and Jets will start using CTRL+E. Air starts no good.
Have checked all the usual aircraft switches.

Thanks for the suggestion but in the meantime I have re-loaded, took about three attempts, and all is well.
Now I'm having problems with some textures - they told me that it was an absorbing hobby!!
cheers Laurie
