I tried that too, I'm used to having to start the C-47 with throttles cracked, in fact this C-46 is one of the few I have that starts with throttles at idle.
Nothing, absolutely nothing I tried would get the engines to start. I tried selectively removing all the changes from the aircraft.cfg one at a time, and ended up with the old .air file and just a few lines from the old aircraft.cfg, and it works fine now.
I feel it's just a bit under powered out of the box at this point and adjusted the piston ratio a bit so that I could climb at the recommended speed of 105 knots and cruise at the expected speed of 150 knots with a 50% load. As distributed, I couldn't get it much above 120 with a 50% load. Also the CHT is off, like in most simulated pistons, and I adjusted the CHT record in the .air file to give more realistic temps (oil temps are fine, which is unusual, most sims get that wrong too.) I'll be happy to share these small easy changes with anyone who cares that much about it.
I enjoy flying the airplane. It's a nice simulation, and I appreciate the fixes in both SPs. Now I can read the glideslope/VOR in daylight, and the beacon switch is correctly labelled now
