Engine 0 condition
-
All throttle quadrant controls set up within sim for startup (not using external throttle quadrant. With EFB open, I set repair engine to 100 %, clear engine, repair starter, clean filters and EFB open for monitoring during startup.) At startup ITT needle immediately pegs in red flag area and stays pegged. EFB shows engine going to 0. Immediately repair engine through the EFB and response is back to 0. There is also no torque response when moving throttle forward. engine stays idle. Also, the same problem with external throttle quadrant setup in controls. installed and reinstalled caravan pro many times. What is this problem? I have the analog caravan from Marketplace, and it works great. I've scoured many forums on this particular problem, and none to be found. But! that tells me no others have this problem and are doing fine. Looking at the fixes from the recent update to the caravan pro I think seems to allude to this problem in how I read it and thus the reinstalls just to make sure. Anyway, still a problem. Will fly the analog until This is solved.

Do you think you could record a video for me to look at? Since you have the Analog Caravan, I assume you are familiar with starting procedures, so you're waiting until the gas generator reaches its maximum speed before introducing fuel?

Sorry about the late response. Been very busy. Anyway, I downloaded the most recent update to the caravan pro and was getting everything set up to send you a video of the problem and voila! A very pleasant surprise to see it start up without the ITT being pegged. I guess the new version update took care of the problem. Was very happy over that. Love both versions of the caravan. Thank you very much for your response to this problem. Never thought about the gas generator reaching maximum speed. I will see if I can bring up this problem by watching how I react to the gas generator speed. Thanks again. Great aircraft. Floats next!

@Jammer Next time you run into this issue, make sure you’ve removed the engine covers — they might be the culprit
