Too weird - that's what I did - engine just turns over. Fuel Gauge points to front of aircraft - is it in the wrong position? The mix is the red knob front right?

Yep - no go. Braces work the starter switch just like clicking on hotspot as Georg suggested but sucker just won't run. This is version FlightGear v 1.0.0. I'm sure I have started aircraft before but.... Double weird now - I had repeated all the above steps when I wrote this and no go. I just tried again to be sure I tried everything and this time did move the fuel gauge are so was point at like 2'oclock and it started - that I had tried various settings but..... Who knows. Thanks for the help and excuse whatever screwup I must have made starting it.
