resolved Problem starting the right engine since the last hot fix patch.

When I first saw this, I thought it might have to do with air temperature or wind, but since then I've seen a few failed engine start attempts at some of the most standard atmospheric conditions. Looks kind of random to me.

indeed it does appear random.  Happened to me last night on a MP mission.  Second engine just wouldn't start up.  Ng% never goes above RED and the engine spools down back to 0%.  I spawned into a new helo and performed exact same start-up sequence I always do ... started up, no problem.  

This was the first time experiencing this "failed to start" issue after weeks of heavy play.  Go figure.

Thanks I will give it a try

 

It still won’t.

I have no problem to start both engines.

if you are still having issues please make a short track replay example and send it to me,

thank you

Hi - the issue is that I am starting engine 2 a bit early when engine 1 is still spoiling up. This causes 2 to not want to start anymore.

You’re supposed to wait for the other engine to stabilize at idle speed, somewhere around 67% NG or so before starting the second engine. You’re doing the start procedure incorrectly. The aircraft is not capable of supplying enough air to start both engines at the same time.

we should ask the crew chief to stick a leaf blower in the #2 engine intake, maybe then it will have enough air.

The engine inlet isn’t the air source.

can't use air in some farps.

Not sure if there is a difference in SP vs MP, but in SP I can start both engines at the same time

I only ever saw this problem if I left the collective up (blades tilted up and air resistance high) after bore sighting, the result was always trouble starting engine 2. 

Apart from that, engine 1 & 2 always starts for me if the proper conditions are correct.... perhaps moving the collective works in my advantage?

Same for SP or MP.
