Autostart for Piston Engines

[laurieh]

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

Finally gave in and did re-install of FSX. All now OK.

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!!
