Are you priming a warm engine? Remember, the engine stays warm even if you shut down and restart FSX.

If the engine is hard to start, try advancing the throttle 3/4 then cranking, as this would clear out a flooded engine.

Have you checked for a popped or loose fuse during your pre-flight? Accu-Sim loves to pop them now and again :twisted:

These aircraft have become so real that, it's become quite common for one of us to spend an hour troubleshooting something we think is a bug, when it turns out to be something simple / real.
