<![CDATA[Is it maybe possible that the startup procedure is incorrect?]]>Is it possible that the startup procedure is incorrect? In all the Commander 114 checklists I could find online, it states that—typical for Lycoming engines—the engine is started with the mixture at "cut-off," and as soon as it fires, the mixture is quickly pushed to "rich"—essentially the same way as in a C172SP. However, the BKSQ Commander seems to require the startup procedure typical of Continental engines instead.
Thank you!

So you are aware that this doesn't reflect reality for this type of engine, but it is intentional?
Please excuse this question; my English isn't that good i i dont understand your first answer not to 100%.
Thank you very much again!

That dynamic is just not something I simulate yet, as I consider it slightly dangerous to disconnect fuel flow control from user hardware. No telling what the future might hold, though.
