Engine Starting

[Energizer23]

Can’t get Barron started without using ctl E.

Make sure your mixture is set to full rich.

I did that. I have even shut the engine down and tried restarting without changing any settings and still will not start with the magneto switch.

I am having the same issue with the C152. Only way to start the engine for me is with CTRL+E.

I had that trouble with the 152 until I realized I hadn't opened the Fuel line which is between the seats. You probably knew that but just in case.

You must open the Fuel Valve below your feet

 

Guys...there is a thing called "checklists" you knoew?

 

they exist for a reason

Yea I was opening the fuel switch. I had an issue with my throttle and mixture on my CH Flight Yoke not being set correctly. If MS had included a friggin manual then issues like this might not exist. I now think I have everything setup with my Flight Yoke and Saitek peddles. Except for the sensitivities. No matter what I set the C152 seems to be all over the place. Very hard to keep it flying level and straight. Unlike the real thing which I can fly almost by finger tips when it's trimmed right. This game still seems like a beta to me. I strongly feel it was released too early. Hopefully it will be fixed eventually. For now I am spending more time in FS9 with all of my addons. I continue to try the $1 trial of MSFS with the hopes that it will be fixed some day.

Funny i think its the best of all default planes, and i can fly it with my fingertips. Super smooth and at the same time feeling the pitch of flap point, gyro torque and nature vectors

 

The trim is always best to configure the 2 closest buttons to the joystick, so your thumb can easily adjust it as you grip the stick

 

I took my PP license on it, first solo etc
