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 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
