I recently re-installed the IXEG 737-300. Upon starting the first flight, I was surprised to find that Engine 1 was starting by itself. In addition, engine 2 upon stabalizing at idle was running 5% less than engine 1. Has anyone else had these issues, and, if so, what is the fix if any?

The solution to this problem is to make sure that the magneto switch is set to "OFF" if you are using the Alpha yoke by Honeycomb. If it is on, it will start engine #1 by default. Engine #1 will also be producing 5% or so more power than engine #2 when it is started. Interestingly, if the magneto switch is on and both engines are running, the autothrottle will compensate for the 5% difference and throttle up the #2 engine to match #1.
