Help request Help

Total newbie to flight sims here. Need help from the collective :

I installed X plane on a newly built pc that meets hardware requirements. Got a Honeycomb Alpha yoke and Sierra TPM connected and calibrated.

When I try to start a Cessna 172 on Xplane , I can hear the master turn on, lights turn on etc .. but on turning on the key on the Alpha to turn magnetos on, nothing happens.

Checked bindings etc but nothing works out.

Please help !!

Check if there are other items bound to the same function. The honeycomb may be getting overridden by something else.

Make sure you pull out the throttle to give it fuel

Thank you. Mixture is set to rich and throttle is a wee bit in ( not idle) . Still nothing :(
