Weird. Thanks for that pointer - we are investigating.

Using Scotty's temporary solution CTRL SHIFT F4 everything is fine, the engines start. I've tried this with the 61 model, fuel as suggested by the new manual.
Thank you Scotty. However, I hope that eventually there will be a nicer way to start the engines ;-)

I can confirm that CTRL SHFT F4 does work...

I just got this airplane and have the same issue. If I don't start engine 1 first it won't work. If I do all is well. What ever came of looking into this would be nice to know? Thanks!
