Hi ,
This is probably the result of power interruptions with my PC ? I purchased a battery backup , but never worked right so is not connected . I can shut down both engines on the default Baron ( or any twin ) and can only re-start engine #1 . Selecting E-2 will make no difference . Ctrl-Shift-F2 or F4 will affect the mixture control for engine #1 only . Hitting E then 1 and 2 quickly is ineffective . Still can only start #1 . If I select E & 2 , number 1 will still only be affected .
I really miss watching each engine start with any twin and especially the Howard 500 .

Can only think of few of things

Are you releasing the E key. Press and release the E key, then the number keys(s) in order. (just pressing E results in the same action as E then 1. This could explain why E then 1 then 2 or E then 2 seems to result in E then 1)

Use the number keys on the top row, not the ones on the numpad.

Check your Settings>Controls>Assignments and see that 'Select item 1' thru 'Select item 4' have proper assignments.

Dave ,
You saved the day !!! I have watched the engines start many times with no problems . The settings were the problem . 1 & 4 were the only ones that had anything by them and had changed by themselves for some reason . I have never looked at those .
Love this forum and thanks so much Dave ,
Jamie
