Hi,
> I have just bought the A2A Accu-Sim 172 and I cannot start the engine. Crl E switches off the fuel pump. I have tried changing control codes in settings but it ends up going back to Cntrl E for the fuel pump. I have tried another key setting but it just goes back to Cntrl E. When I open the plane.

> In another C172 (X Plane 11) when the master switch is on and the fuel pump is selected you can hear it working.
> I have installed it in FSX running under windows 10 and a number of people in your forum have not had any problems.
>
PS: I also tried doing a Magneto check using the ignition key but no joy is this feature activated ?
> Can you provide any answers

Cannot Start Accu-Sim 172
Re: Cannot Start Accu-Sim 172
From the manual:
The 172 has a bit of an odd starting procedure. Follow the instructions exactly, but only set the mixture to full rich for 1 to 2 seconds unless it is very cold outside, then return it to idle cutoff. It is very easy to flood this engine. It is better to under-prime the engine then attempt another start than to over-prime it. On a warm engine, do not prime it at all (on the first attempt).

Notice the auxiliary fuel pump is turned off before the ignition switch is set to start.STARTING ENGINE (WITH BATTERY)
1. Throttle  OPEN 1/4 INCH
2. Mixture  IDLE CUTOFF
3. Propeller Area  CLEAR
4. Master Switch  ON
5. Flashing Beacon  ON
NOTE: If engine is warm, omit priming procedure of steps 6, 7, and 8 below.
6. Auxiliary Fuel Pump Switch  ON
7. Mixture  SET to FULL RICH (full forward) until stable fuel flow is indicated
(usually 3 to 5 seconds), then set to IDLE CUTOFF (full aft) position.
8. Auxiliary Fuel Pump  OFF
9. Ignition Switch  START (release when engine starts)
10. Mixture  ADVANCE smoothly to RICH when engine starts.
NOTE: If engine floods (engine has been primed too much), turn off auxiliary fuel pump, set
mixture to idle cutoff, open throttle 1/2 to full, and motor (crank) engine. When engine starts,
set mixture to full rich and close throttle promptly.
11. Oil Pressure  CHECK
