A plane that doesn't start in a flight sim is about as obvious an error as it is conceivable to think of whether it be beta, RC or a final release. Starting the planes is kind of the point of a flight sim, isn't it?

But this is just pointless semantics. It will (hopefully) be fixed so what does it matter? I doubt anyone is shocked by the ineptitude of the dev team so the discussion will have little impact.
Again like you say it doesn't matter what its called. The developer sent out the patch for further testing by the community. I've never said that the engine management faults aren't a huge problem, but my point was, why are people so surprised to find bugs, when the development is continually fixing/changing/adding code.
