Hi. I love this aircraft! If I start and fly everything is fine. But if I shut off the engine for a while (An instant restart always works fine) while flying by flicking off the ignition switch, it then will not restart. It runs for 2 or 3 seconds then stops. The same problem occurs on the ground, if I start the engine and then stop it and restart, it works fine. But if I start then stop the engine, then wait a while, it will not restart. (I checked fuel and ign switch!) On occasions, pressing the starter turns the prop the wrong way as well. Also on the ground, the prop will sometimes just twitch backwards and forwards but I think that may be mentioned in another post - zero values in dataref?

Thanks in advance Julian

XP12 on a Mac Mini M1 chip Thanks in advance Julian Hello Julian, Many thanks for your feedback! Yes, there is a bug that when the engine is set to off (in some occasions), it gets flooded with fuel. This bug will be fixed very soon. Until then, you can simply keep pushing the starter until it will exceed startup point. But again, this will be fixed very soon, thank you for reporting. Prop direction going backwards - listed now for evaluation.

Thank you for the reply - I think my experience of prop going backwards is an optical illusion - or me!! It always seemed to happen after a prop strike but I am not certain that it is really a thing! 🤔 Please ignore that bit of the report.
