The engines start using the Ctrl+E?

Hello,

As other post, I can't open a new topic. Therefore I ask you here. Is it possible to start the C-130 only using the "E" key ?

Thank you

Pressing CTRL+E should start the C-130 engines (this is on the C-130H as I haven't bought the C-130E yet). Though I still have to move the COPILOT AC INSTRUMENT (Copilot's inverter switch) and AC INST & FUEL CONT (AC intruments inverter switch) to the ESSENTIAL AC BUS after the engines were started.

I usually power up and start the C-130 using the checklist.

Mine won’t start using Ctrl+E.  Trying cold and dark all is well and I can achieve a start on all four engines.   They run for a couple of minutes but no fuel flow is registered and then one by one shut down.
What am I doing wrong.  I have 7500hrs in real world on the c-130E so the flight deck is not a mystery but the flight sim is.
Thanks

I just tested using CTRL+E on the C-130H, C-130E, and C-130J, and it worked every time for me, so I can't figure out why it wouldn't work for you.

If I can’t start it and therefore can’t fly it what would be the procedure to remove it from MSFS 2020 and then reload.  Maybe there is a corrupt file or similar?

Go into your Content Manager, select the C-130E/H/J, then select DELETE (bottom right of screen).
After that, click on NOT INSTALLED, select the C-130E/H/J, then click on it to highlight it and select INSTALL to reinstall it.
