Thanks in advance for your support

Hi Pascal,

first of all have you run the latest updater even if you just downloaded the T-6? Also is the plane fit for flight in the maintenance hangar (shift+8)? All liquids (fuel, oil) are at sufficient levels (shift+4)?

What is the exact problem? Does the engine not fire or does the prop not turn at all? If it's the later you might have a hydraulic lock (oil in the bottom cylinder(s) that prevents the crankshaft from turning because oil is incompressible). Install the oil clean kit in the shift+3 menu. Wait a couple of minutes and take it back off again. Then hit hand prop again in the shift+3 menu. If the prop moves around count 9 blades and after that try to start the engine again with the procedure from the manual.

Hope this helps.

Great. Remember to check in from time to time if there is a new update. A2A does release them regularly and they don't "only" fix bugs with them they usually also add new features or improve the simulation. It's quite impressive.

Looking forward to your report on the starting

It was the upgrade which was obviously needed.
She works now like a charm. I have still to take off now

Thanks you again

Awesome. But don't forget to install that oil cleaner kit when you park the plane. And always pull that prop through before you try to start her up.

Happy flying.
