Engine do not want to start in realistic mode - Katana Da20

ood morning,

With regards to a newly installation of the Katana Diamond DA20 in FSX via Steam:

It seems I do not get the engine started in realistic mode. Only in simple and instructor mode.

It only cranks and then dies.

It seems there has been previous posts by other members with a similar problem. But I did not find any clear answer yet that works.

Is it a software-related problem?

As required, FSX is installed outside of Program Files and is set as an Administrator mode.

Windows 10 is the operating-platform.

Please help,

Thank you.

Choke out

Carb heat on(in snowy weather)**

Fuel pump - ON

Fuel cut off switch  - Flow ON*

Bat/Gen ON

Keys in the ignition(Obviously)

Turn to START and hold.

Optionally hand turn the prop with the key on BOTH Magnetos'. also check magnetos for damage.

Not sure it needs to be done but crack your throttles a tiny bit and put Prop power a little up also.

 

  *Check you actually HAVE fuel first

  **Install an inlet baffle in snowy weather aswell
