FYI, Put XPRealistic back in and all is good

That did it. Thanks Will try putting XPRealistic back in and see what happens

No, I did not see that. Sometimes the obvious is not so obvious . will try thanks

I have noticed a few post about there is no sound. I also had that problem. I removed a few plugins and it maybe XPRealistic plugin. I do get sound now but the aircraft interior and exterior levels are at about 25% of max. if I change it to anything else it always goes back to 25%. There is something wrong there. I have tried Laminars 737 and wherever I put the sliders they stay.

I'm on a PC running 12.6r3 and I cannot start X-plane with the DC3 ( either variant ). It freezes as soon as it opens in the cockpit. I have to force quit. If I start with another aircraft, then change to the DC3 it's okay. Any suggestions as to what I can do on this end to correct this? Thanks

Thank you all very much for the advice . I was using version 1.1 of that cklist . I see 1.2 has a procedure to ensure that the propeller is 'on locks'. I haven't tried it yet. I'm sure it will good. I have a feeling that this will be my new favourite aircraft.

Your suggestion worked. Set the mixture to max. then changed the joystick setting for mixture to none. restarted XP and this time the engines started. The blades were 'unfeathered' prior to starting the engines. I'm not sure if that is normal and if the unfeather button should be pushed. I did and you could hear some noise I assume the unfeathering process anyway. Still could not get any Torque or forward motion to Taxi . Tried to shut down the engine and at one point it said put the power levers in reverse. That caused reverse motion. Went back to Ground Idle and was now able to get torque and forward motion. Is that normal? at least it worked. Still have a bit of getting familiar with this aircraft. Fun to fly though. Thanks for your help

Ok thanks I'll set it to full on mixture then set it to none. save and restart XP. I don't think removing the preferences folder would help but I will try that after your suggestion if it doesn't work. Looks like I'm the only one with this problem. weird because i'm sure there are a lot of X52 joysticks out there. I'll do a search for mixture in joystick and keyboard just in case something else is set. I appreciate the help. Ill let you know if i succeed Cheers

Thanks for the quick response. I have an MU2 joystick profile saved. I didn't know I had to clear mixture before starting the setup for the MU2. And I'm not sure it would have helped anyway When it would not start with the mixture set to 'none' , all I did, without changing anything, was set it back to mixture move it to full and it immediately started. So, I think everything was set correctly. Also, it will not shut down unless I turn the 'mixture' all the way down. The condition levers are set to TAXI , power levers are at slightly above Ground Idle. SRLs are on and Run Crank to 'RUN'. Fuel valves are open. I would have thought that if the fuel valves were open it would override any mixture setting or a none. I know mixture is for piston engines but it sure is affecting this aircraft. If I start using the ' engines running when loaded feature all is good . however I had to use the mixture to low to get the engines to stop. I'm also having a terrible time to get it to move forward to Taxi. I have played around with the on the locks thing but so far no success . Still have a few more thing to try. Would like to get the mixture thing resolved first. Any other suggestions?

I just started using the XP12 version of this aircraft. Originally for other aircraft my X52 joystick 'small knob' was set to 'mixture'. When I reassigned joystick settings for the MU-2 it remained set. I have found that the engines will not start unless I turn that knob back slightly and back to the full mixture. The 'main fuel valves ' are open . After one engine is started. The second needs that same procedure of turning back the knob slightly and to full. That causes the first engine to start to wind down but as soon as it is back to full, it revs up again. It is like that knob is controlling the fuel input. I tried setting it to none but the engines will not start at all then. I cannot find any reference to mixture in the manual. Any suggestions?

That worked...Thanks

Just purchased version 2.0.1 a few days ago and finally getting around to trying it. I cannot get the Nose wheel to steer with the Yaw function on my joystick. Any suggestions
