When I open FSX Steam, my new A2A C172 opens with no power and no engine.
Sometimes the aircraft is shown with a dead engine and in other cases it'stutters and gargles before it dies off.
Troubleshooting:
I have uninstalled/reinstalled the app several times without result.
I have followed the before/start up engine checklists but the engine won't come to live.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards, Robert
C172 has no power and no engine

Hi
Welcome to the world of Accu-.Sim
Did you check that Auto-Mixture is unticked?
uninstalling/reinstalling rarely solve anything, so please stop doing that unless specifically asked to by support

Re: C172 has no power and no engine
Did you make sure that you aircraft is updated? Even though you just purchased it, it still needs an update. The updater can be found here: https://www.a2asimulations.com/forum/vi ... 23&t=57819

Re: C172 has no power and no engine
I just installed the update. Still no effect.
FSX opens with a dead engine and there's no way to restart it...

When I exit FSX, it says: attempt to call a nil message.

Re: C172 has no power and no engine
what is your default flight? it's normally not a good idea to start FSX with a complex addon.

Re: C172 has no power and no engine
Following your remark, I changed the default back to a standard C172 Skyhawk and that started with no problems and with the engine running.
Then I ended the flight and changed it to the A2A C172. This time the flight opened with the engine dead....

Re: C172 has no power and no engine
Hi Tomas,
I'm not sure that I understand what you mean.
Do you mean that I need to follow and execute each and every step in this FAQ thread?
What do you mean by checking the aircraft in the hangar?

Re: C172 has no power and no engine
the A2A GA airplanes all have a maintenance hangar. I believe the default keys are "Shift + 7"
It would also be a good idea to have a look in the manual. E.G. you will have to use the A2A fuel and payload manager to refuel the aircraft. the default will not refuel it. on my pc i find the manual in:
Start button -> all programs -> A2A simulations -> Accu-Sim C172 Trainer
did you save the default C172 as you default flight? if no, please do so

Re: C172 has no power and no engine
I cannot find a program called Accu sim C172 Trainer file.
Under start - All programs - A2A Simulations, I only see the Pilots manual, the aircraft configurator FSX and the C172 Input configurator files...

Re: C172 has no power and no engine
BTW, I never thought it would be this much work to get an addon running...
