Engine Cold Start not starting all the time

[uscstaylor]

Hey Guys

I'm sitting here practicing my cold engine starts and Ive noticed that the 1st time I start my engines its fine and I finish mission. Then I practice again and for the second time and the engine don't start up along with no bouncing betty warnings....It's wired cause I'm following the start up procedure to the letter and it I get this bug just about every other start up...Can someone let me now about this please.

 

This is the vid I follow:

No I release it after the engines starts to spool up and move my throttle slightly forward. I just tried to cold start engine 5 times and 5 times no start the rpm gauge doesn't even move. Also the bouncing Betty warning light don't flask every time you hit the engine start up toggle.....Ill try to make a video......

I get the same thing sometimes. On startup make sure you dont move the throttle until the rpm is around 92. If the engine dont kick in when moving the throttle one detent forward then use the "throttle cut off lever" to move the throttle back then forward again and lock the throttle again with the "throttle cut off lever". The engine should start spooling up then. I belive this has to do with the problem SVTONY reported.

I made these as short as possible and I'm no pro be any means but you can clearly see the 2nd start don't work...I thought I was going crazy....

 

OK Guys here's the 1st attempt and it works fine...

Be sure you have the throttle all the way back. If the throttle is in idle position the engine wont start. If you see the throttle on idle just use the throttle cut to move It to stop and release again the cut.

[uscstaylor]

Ill try that

I think you move the throttle to early. Wait until at least 5% before moving the throttle.

At first, that was happening to me all the time until I realize the aircraft spawn with the engine cutoff lever in (you can move the throttle). Now, I follow the steps on the A1-AV8BB-NFM-000: as soon as I turn the battery,

6. Throttle quadrant check.

a. Parking brake — OFF.

b. Throttle — FULL, JPT LIMITER OFF.

c. Idle stop — CHECK.

d. Throttle — OFF.

e. JPT limiter — ON.

f. Parking brake — ON.

Hey Guys

I figured it out. I have the Warthog Hotas and I completely forgot about the throttle need to lift over that little bump to be completely back. So operator error duh...Thanks all good to go now.

Yes, mapping "Button 29" and using it correctly is a huge help and extremely convenient :thumbup:
