Hi.
I have just got Xplane 11 and the Phoenix aircraft. It looks great, but;
I am having problems restarting the engine after shutdown. It starts fine first time (Fuel on and it goes) but after shutting down I am unable to restart the engine.
I have tried the choke in and out (Unsure which is 'on' and 'off' - it says Pull to Open, but Open is normal for a choke, Closed is on??) but cannot get a start.
Could it be icing ... but there is no carby heat.
Looking forward to clocking some hours ... but I really need to be able to restart!
Thanks.

Your engine is being flooded, probably because you do not shut-down the electrical boost-pump (EL Pump). Before shutting down the engine, verify that the pump is switched off. You will not have difficulties in restart! Let me know if you need further assistance!
