TBM 850 Engine will not start

[ETownsend]

When I follow the Check list written by Black Square for engine start. It doesn't get past 18% NG. I've tried to start the engine at least 20 times even on a fresh reboot on both the computer and MSFS.

@etownsend have you set ignition to "Auto"?. As soon as 18% NG is reached, set conditioner to "low idle". I struggled with getting the engine running at first, but eventually figured it out.

@slowhand I have both the actual POH and the black square manual. they both say 13% but I've also tried it at 18% and in between no luck.

@etownsend Do you have ignition set to Auto?

[ETownsend]

@jasemelbo yes I

@ETownsend

Same problem here.
Have you solved the problem ?

[ETownsend]

@makko1515 I haven't tried it yet, I probably will this weekend. I'll be doing a review on YouTube

Its definetly not an issue with the aircraft.
Not a single hickup since day one...
How do you "move" the Condition lever ? Mouse/Axis/ via external tool (AAO/SPAD/etc) ?

[Mad_X]

Ignition auto? Aux fuel pump on? Fuel selector in? Bleed of? Battery Voltage? Starter broken?

Next thing would be a reinstall.
OR
Rename your Community folder to like CommunityXX
Create a new one
COPY the Folder "bksq-aircraft-tbm850" over.
Start MSFS
Try again. If that doesnt work, idk ...

Reverse the renaming of Folders, obviously ;-)

Hi, solved the Problem.
My 'Engine Condition' was 0% without ever startet the engine.
After 'Repairing' everything is fine !
