Hello,

  I am having trouble getting the Mi-8 to start.  The green light next to the start button won't turn on, and the engine needles won't move.

  Things I have tried (in order)

  [Primer]
  - Disable 3rd party add-ons
  - Repair DCS World

  [Failed Starts]
  - Follow normal start procedure
  - Re-start DCS, attempt an Auto-Start [Win + Home]
  - Re-start DCS, Mi-8 training mission - Cold Start
  + Re-start DCS, switch to Mi-24P with normal start procedure [success!]

  I am at a bit of a loss on how to proceed.  Any recommendations?

Strange that autostart doesn't work. Does it start in the training mission?
As for the light, that's "always" because the rotor brake is still on, check your bindings.

Amazing, thank you.  I had bound an axis to the rotor brake - added a 5% dead zone and it started right up.

Cheers!
