Here is the problem I've been having. I have the master switch on, full fuel, mixture and prop control in, primed, turn the key to start and it wont start. This is just happening in a couple of my planes and its really frustrating to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Are you having problems starting any aircraft, or only specific aircraft? There are addon aircraft I can't start either

What's your throttle setting?
Is the fuel-selector set to a tank, or is it off?

I used to be able to start the ones that now wont start. I have the tank selector to both and with both tanks full and I cant get it to fire.

hmm... also try checking the air pressure/altitude... sometimes, when taking off from a high place, the engine might have trouble starting...
try starting with 50% mixture
that should rule out environmental issues... if it's not that, it might be a problem with the aircraft itself
do all your aircraft have trouble starting, or just a few?
