I never work with the keys as we have such nice full 3D-cockpits with clickable hotspots. PA 24-250 Start pressing "CTRL + C", then you'll see all hotspots you can click on. Look down and select the fuel tank. Look forward left and engage the main-switch and the fuel-pump switch. Mixture should be full rich (position at the panel). Maybe Priming is the realistic way to proceed, I never did it. Just start the engines with the ignition lock. Switch on all other stuff you need. Release the parking brake (also clickable). All should work nice now. Press "CTRL + C" again to toggle the hotspots.
