startup procedure
Hi,
I have watched some youtube-videos regarding the real-life gazelle startup.
The starter switch in the sim behaves different to these videos:

In the sim the starter switch is always centered, you turn it upwards to engage the starter and leave it there (with a coded 20sec limit - the starter doesn't work before). If you are switching it to the middle position when idle, the engine goes out. You cannot restart the engine while the rotor is spinning. You have to wait for a complete stop.
In the videos the starter switch is in the down-position before starting the engine. To start the engine you switch it to the middle position - the engine is spooled up to a level where you can inject and ignite fuel by moving the starter to the up position for a short time. When the exhaust temp reaches 500 degrees you move the starter back to the middle position.
edit: I also think it is not right that there is no avionics power when the engine is not at full throttle.
