Starting F4J
I am having trouble getting the engines started on the F4JTP version.
I use the same procedures as the E but its not working, the engines wind up and when I move throttle to idle nothing. If I minimize window, reopen the engines are on fire.
Thanks,

The J and S require the GPU startcart. They don't have the pyro cartridge.

Re: Starting F4J
Engine masters on? Fuel in the tanks? What RPM are you moving throttles forward at?

Masters on, 78% fuel, gpu cart attached, signaled for air flow start, right engine start first (lower compression) advance throttle from off to idle at 15%.
On the E this works perfectly, on the J the engine does not start, it just keeps winding up then start over.
Thanks

Ok, just figured something out. When I start the flight the acm shows 60% fuel, the gauge in cock pit shows 0 pounds. If I add external tanks with acm fuel quantity shows 100% but cockpit gauge shows 0.
If I change aircraft (FSX) the it will show fuel but then change to 0% (with E version as well)
Disregard all the above, I just realized the fuel gauge will not display fuel until engine(s) running and generators on.
Back to square one. I do notice with the E when I advance throttle during start up I hear a clicking which I assume is the igniter? With the J & S I d not hear that.

Re: Starting F4J
Then the issue remains is I cannot get the engines started.

Re: Starting F4J
generator switches on external power?
