Rhinozherous Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 (edited) Hello! I am able to start the right engine with external power and air without problem, but when it comes to the left engine it spools up to 20% RPM and stops alltough I hold ignition and the throttle is over the idle detent. I have no problem whatsoever when starting the engines with the start cartridge. Only on air start. My flow is as follows: Connect external power Both Generators to external Connect air to right engine R ENG MSTR to ON Start Air flow to R ENG On 10% I hold down Ignition and push R Throttle to idle Wait for R ENG to stabilize Stop air to right engine R Generator to ON Connect air to left engine L ENG MSTR to ON Start Air flow to L ENG On 10% I hold down Ignition and push L Throttle to idle - and here the engine stops on 20% RPM and thats it. It does not start up. I did not fly the F4 for a while, is there something new I missed? Thank you!

The only thing I do differently is turn both master switches to on before starting the first engine as implied by the dash 1.

I dont know what, but it seems I did something wrong when it was not working. 1 i7-14700KF 5.6GHz Water Cooled /// ZOTAC RTX 4070 TI Super 16GB /// 32GB RAM DDR5 /// Win11 /// SSDs only DCS - XP12 - MSFS2020
