    @supersym Make sure there is fuel. Sometimes after the update the fuel tank is empty

    I'm not totally sure but I think it was fuel enough. I will check again.
    Is it necessary to prime with a cold engine ?

      @supersym Not sure about the priming, but I think there is usually a message on the EFB that says priming is required if it is. It can't hurt to try it though, I don't think you can flood the engine in the sim

        Two seconds of cranking? Are you using a starter switch like on the Logitech Switch Panel or one of the Honeycomb pieces?

            @supersym not sure what the mouse problem is, however for the switch panel to work you'll need to do this: https://support.justflight.com/support/solutions/articles/17000118190-honeycomb-yoke-start-issue

            It says Honeycomb but the effect is the same.

                @supersym says it right there, replace the existing engines.cfg with the _Honeycomb one. Move that into the folder and rename it engines.cfg.

                    @supersym I have the same Logitech panel and it fixed it for me. I don't know what you're doing or not doing with the mouse, but the engines.cfg_Honeycomb shortens the number of cranks necessary to start it because the Logitech/Honeycomb switches don't stay in start for very long and you can't change that.

                        Where can I find the ‘engines.cfg_HoneycombYoke' file?

                        Thanks!

                              Hi !
                              It was a big mistake from me !
                              the tank's valave was off ! I didn't see it very well
                              But rename the file seems to get me CTD.
                              So first Put the tank on Left or Right and I can start the engine...
                              Apologize for loosing your time :frowning_face:

                                finaly,
                                I need the file to start up with my logiteck panel !
                                I need too to open the valve of course :squinting_face_with_tongue:
                                Without the file I can start up with the mouse. The mistake was the valve.
                                May be last time the data were still in memory, and deleting the file did'nt erase the data of the driver in memory
                                I tried several times today, no CTD...
                                May be CTD are depending something else...
                                See you later :smiling_face:
