TraineeFor some reason the Maule won't start up when i do a cold start
I'll have the trottle open at 1/4 inch
prop at high RPM
mixture full rich
fuel boost pump on
magneto starter switch is on start
throttle idle
alternater switch on
fuel boost pump off
the prop spins up for a bit then stops after 1 or 2 seconds
is anyone able to start the maule from a cold start?

First OfficerPossibly a fuel valve that needs to be turned on?
Traineewell the fuel selector valve is set to both
is it not supposed to?
Traineeyeah it should be at both, thats atleast what i have it on. as for it not starting, i really cant help you there i dont really fly the maule. but im guessing that you have used the checklist given to you in the kneeboard section, right?
First OfficerFollowing the checklist I can't get it to start either. I also tried a few things you are supposed to do on a real fuel injected aircraft but no luck. I would say it's bugged. Also bugged in the Maule are the lights. The lights only work if you have the landing light switch on and then they all come on, if I remember correctly.
Traineeok yeah, i just tried to cold start a maule, with no luck. like faust said its probably bugged. and the lights thing, happens to me in my Boeing 737-800, for sum reason i cant turn on any other lights without the landing lights being on. seems like a glitch.
First OfficerI experince this with the maule and sometimes the Cub and birddog.
It will start if I use Keys "Ctrl + E", that's letting FSX start it past some flag in the program related to realism settings.
