After 2.51 beta, A10C both engines will not start. ralt/home rctr/home even on thrustmaster hotas, will not spool up now.

They start for me on 2.5.1. Recheck your startup procedures.

[Mods-o_joy]

Check Inverter ... ON

Check BAT ... ON

Check Indicator Panel ... L-ENG/R-ENG HOT L-ENG/R-ENG LOW OIL PRESS

Check Fuel boost pumps ... L/R ALL ON

Check APU ... 100%

Engine switch ... MOTOR

Check RPM L-ENG ... 30%

L Throttle ... DETENT OUT

Repeat R Engine

You forgot switch APU generator to "PWR" after APU stabilized.

No problem for me, either.

 

Can you post a track?

 

Engine switch ... MOTOR

 

Why that? It's possible to start the engine by motoring it, and I think I read that some pilots prefer to do it that way while others don't, but to the best of my knowledge it's not needed, and the "Engines Startup" section of the manual specifically says:

 

Left console, throttle quadrant area

 

Engine operate (ENG OPER) switches

 

Confirm both set to NORM

 

Also, the part regarding the switches themselves:

 

Moving one of the switches to the MOTOR position when a throttle is set to OFF will attempt to purge the combustion chamber of the affected engine of fuel. This will be required after a failed engine start and the need to purge fuel before a restart to avoid a hot start. MOTOR is also used for an engine restart with the APU operating.

 

You forgot switch APU generator to "PWR" after APU stabilized.

 

And that too, good spot. :thumbup:
