Hurrah indeed. The corrupt FSX file is one of he most annoying to troubleshoot which is why we often recommend a simconnect repair for some of the other issues as its a great clean out of some big parts of FSX. Anyway glad to hear you are up and running!

Thanks,
Lewis

I can't say how much I hate posting here again on this as I always seem to have an issue with this aircraft and it's one of my favorites. I also am having issues starting this aircraft. I turn over control to the FE and let him do his thing. When he is done and says all set I hit the auto start and I hear the props spinning but the FE never goes into his starting engines bit. RPM spools for a few moments and then stops. If I try to start it myself he will say starting and the engine number aloud but the engines never fire at all. This has never been an easy starting aircraft however when even auto start cannot get it going... All of my other A2A aircraft run without issue, auto mixture is off (that caused the perpetual Oil pressure rising call from the FE) I re-installed the 377 as well as COTS and the update. In that order, plane-cots-update. I'm going to uninstall and re-install it again without the update and I have a bad feeling it will fix it. Any Ideas on what i'm doing wrong?

Just for fun I will drop in that i'm flying with a 10 year old Microsoft Sidewinder Pro Joystick :D oldie but a goodie lol.
