In 2024, I go: Battery - on Mixture - rich Fuel cutoff - in Fuel valve - both Magnetos - both … and: nothing Propeller doesn’t start spinning. Nothing happens Have to admit I haven’t done the Skyhawk for some time but iirc that’s how you started it in 2020, right?

Yes. I did the preflight walk around and removed all covers, and wheel chocks

Also had no luck with the Steam gauge 172. Ignition key does not engage the starter.

Yes, I also like the basic version better for some odd reason, probably nostalgia or something! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Never came around to start up avionics and radios but I can see if it works

Same issue here. The G1000 starts up fine but the steam gauge is a no go, even tried autostart and still does nothing.

This is like the twelfth time I’ve said to myself, “I can’t believe they released it like this”.

same for me - can not start. Also can not bind avionics bus and fuel selector

Like… how does this happen? The basic C172 is an airplane that you have to pay $99 plus tax for the Deluxe version to get because it’s not included in the basic version. You’d think they would have QC’d the dang thing??? I get the server issues, which should resolve themselves as usage spreads out…

Yea, it’s not a testament to flawless QA. One wonders how this got through the alpha testing?

Same thing here. I was starting to think it was me. How can we not start the most basic plane in the whole sim. This is ■■■■. But hey, I’m sure they tested autostart and 3rd person view on the 787 a thousand times to make sure the 10 year olds can have a solid experience flying them into buildings.

If it is fuel injected, are you running the fuel pump with the mixture in prior to trying to start to get fuel to the cylinders? If normally aspirated, are you priming?

Cannot start Skyhawk
