Apache Failed Startup

Recommended Posts

Haven’t watched but figured I’d let you know that there is a known bug with engine two where it makes it to about 51% before unwinding… the fix is handled but I think the story is that it didn’t make the last update. You can work around it by slowly increasing the throttle on engine two during startup, then decreasing it back to idle once the engine is at about 58%. Just fyi.

Not a solution of your issue but, kick the both of engine switches to start engines at the same time. 🙂

And then, kick the both power levers to idle at the same time. 😄

...and see what happens...

Had this problem. I start engine 1 once it's in the green I advance the throttle forward (Full). Then I start engine 2 and once it's in the green and stable I advance the throttle to full. I then kill the APU.

I've encountered the same problem today and once before, I noticed that it happens if the outside temperature is 30 deg or above, solved it by letting the NG% of the right engine fall to 0, increasing the left engine RPM to full (fly) and then going throgh the startup procedure of the right engine again. It started, but it's NG% was about 3% lower then the left engine.

You are waiting too long to start the second engine, apparently it's 20 seconds from the engine 1 start reaching 66% (I read that somewhere), you must start it within that time, otherwise fubar.  Whether it's a bug or not I don't know.

I think I read somewhere that it becomes a problem above 26 degrees OAT.

Not sure this will fix it, but a side note nontheless, DCS manual and real life manual both say you advance both throttles together up to FLY after both engines stabilised at IDLE. So engine 1 start and Throttle Lever 1 to Idle, the Engine 2 start and Throttle Lever 2 to IDLE, then advance both together smootly up to FLY.

Normal use of APU in other aircraft  -  You never stress it with double bleed to start engines. Extreme high APU EGT will occur.

Start valve close to eng 1 - then start open valve to eng 2.  Let the APU cool down a bit between starts is a good practice.
