Hi Seehunt.

In the real C130 that would be the case, however in the CS C130 it doesn't seem to make much difference if the condition levers are in the "run" position or the "air" position, the engine still fires up. When I click on the throttle quadrant all the condition levers are in the fully forward "air" position by default so I don't touch them again until shutting down the engines. I am not looking for an exact replication of the C130 start up procedure,I am happy that I can start the engines using an approximation of the procedure and fly this great airplane to the best of my ability. The CS C130 is after all, a simulation of the real thing.
Happy flying.
