Normally aspirated Baron engine dies when starting with throttle idle
-
This only goes for the normally aspirated Baron. I haven't experienced it with any other variant or model.
When starting on the runway or a custom location with the ready for takeoff state, the engine will die if the throttle is at idle. It feels like it's loading in a state that is not quite 'ready for takeoff'.
Apologies if my terminology is inaccurate, and the behaviour I describe might be intentional but I spent a long time trying to work out if it was a bug because I haven't experienced it before.

This has been discussed in another thread, and I've fixed it for the next update. Thanks for letting me know, though!

@Black-Square Ah sorry I didn't see the other post! Thanks very much.

@Black-Square just out of interest do you know when the next update will be coming?
@tlvid I usually do a big round of updates in the summer, but I have been a little delayed this year due to forces beyond my control (house struck by lightning last week). I will likely focus my attention on updates as soon as the Commander 114 is released in a couple weeks. Sorry for the wait!

@Black-Square No need to apologise! Sorry to hear that, I hope it wasn't too serious.
One more fix to add to your list - the normally aspirated Bonanza has a spelling mistake on the fuel tank selector: "gages". Not sure if the same mistake is present on other variants or models.
All the best.

@tlvid Believe it or not, the common spellings of words in aviation have changed noticeably since these aircraft were designed and manufactured. Another one people often notice is "aerobatic" vs. "acrobatic". When reading the original maintenance manuals and POH, it can be like archeology sometimes: "voltameters", "condensers" (capacitors), "kilocycles", "turbosupercharger"... You wouldn't believe some of the ones I've had to scratch my head at

@Black-Square well you learn something new every day! Sincere apologies for doubting you haha
@tlvid Absolutely no apologies necessary! I only wish I had the time to research and write some article about this. It's really fascinating to see some of the spellings and names from just a little while ago.

@Black-Square This was nearly 4 months ago. What is going on? Please can we have an update on the updates...
@tlvid Since you've asked about updates in many different threads today, I will answer here briefly. I'm very sorry for the long wait. [It seems that my pride prevents me from typing a message to ask for your sympathy regarding any real world troubles that have been affecting this one-man team.] I've promised myself that I will not release the Twin Commanders until I've updated all my aircraft, and I recently asked Just Flight if the coming weeks would be a good time.

@Black-Square I'm sorry if it came across in a negative way. I ask because I care, and if you need help there are many people who'd be happy to do so.
I look forward to the updates with anticipation.

@Black-Square I am very sorry to hear that not all is smooth sailing over there and that you're potentially having a rough time.
Here's to hoping things have either resolved in a positive way quickly, or will do so in short order.
