I just realized this forum, had posted on SOH too. Can't seem to keep the engine running, or even started.Maybe there's a trick somewhere I'm not seeing? I've reviewed the engine starting in the manual with nothing that I haven't done.

Anyone had an issue?

I've just replied on SOH:

Have you tried the 'Ready for takeoff' option as suggested by Cees and looked at this FAQ? http://www.justflight.com/support/tb10-tb20/0705dce

If you have and still can't get the engine started, please contact our support team.

I have the same problem in FSX Steam, but it works in plain old FSX!! Have tried suggestions to no effect - the engine is running when the aircraft loads, and then dies.

Hi,
I have the same problem with the dying engine (FSX with SP2). After some experiments I found out that whenever the TB10 or the TB 20 were loaded, a section in the file "JF_TB20.cfg" in Subfolder "SimObjects\Airplanes\JF_Socata_TB20\Panel" was changed.

Directly after a fresh install, the end of this file looked like this:
[QTY]
TKS=8.0
OIL=13.3

After having loaded TB10 or TB20 for the first time, the entry was changed to:
[QTY]
TKS=0.000000
OIL=0.000000
and the engine didn't start anymore.
After changing the QTY section back to the initial values, the engine came up again just fine.
So finally I can fly the airplanes. But this really looks like a bug as I suppose editing config files before every flight was not the way it's meant to be Smile

Kind Regards,
Juergen

Those values should only be updated once a flight in the TB10/TB20 has ended (FS closed or another aircraft selected) and they shouldn't be zero under normal circumstances. If you haven't already done it, please submit a support ticket and we will look into what could be causing that.

Thanks for the post:  I spent 2 hours trying to figure out why the engine would not start.
- same issue as reported "engine dies sputters, and will not start" 
Once i modified the JF_tb20.CFG and added the necessary values back - the engine stats.

Finally got to it today, seems to be ok. I noticed some panel state saving going on but I didn't get a chance to investigate further. So far though up and away!
