let rpm first settle at 20% Not starting and I can't tell if it's me or a bug

Main power on

JFS start 2

Throttle to idle at 20%

Often doesn't work.  The engine just doesn't catch.  Auto start doesn't work after that either.  Even after rearm/refuel.  Only answer has been to change slots or respawn and try again until it works.

I feel like it has been happening since I bought Hornet, PG, and SC, but probably coincidence.

Make sure to wait a couple seconds after rpm hit 20%. Maybe you’re moving the throttle to idle a second too soon.

Check the caution lights, the safe way to start is to wait for the SEC light to go out before moving the throttle to idle.

PS: Also, see the checklists linked in my signature, in case you are looking for something that you can put into the kneeboard as a quick reference.

I think it might be the SEC Light!  Also, if you fail once, I think you have to rearm/refuel to get everything charged up again.
