Cannot start up engine

Supersym

Hi !
I cannot startup engine.
I follow all the procedure but I get only 2 sec of cranking and nothing more.
what Have I ve messed up ?

@supersym Only 2 seconds of cranking suggests maybe low battery charge? Check this in the EFB and recharge if it needs it.

Supersym

@sender46
No I checked that :confused_face:

@supersym Make sure there is fuel. Sometimes after the update the fuel tank is empty

Supersym

@n293wk
I'm not totally sure but I think it was fuel enough. I will check again.
Is it necessary to prime with a cold engine ?

N293WK

@supersym Not sure about the priming, but I think there is usually a message on the EFB that says priming is required if it is. It can't hurt to try it though, I don't think you can flood the engine in the sim

Two seconds of cranking? Are you using a starter switch like on the Logitech Switch Panel or one of the Honeycomb pieces?

Supersym

@jmarkows both saitek (logitech) and mouse

jmarkows

@supersym not sure what the mouse problem is, however for the switch panel to work you'll need to do this: https://support.justflight.com/support/solutions/articles/17000118190-honeycomb-yoke-start-issue

It says Honeycomb but the effect is the same.

Supersym

@jmarkows
so I've a logitech, how must I rename the file ?

jmarkows

@supersym says it right there, replace the existing engines.cfg with the _Honeycomb one. Move that into the folder and rename it engines.cfg.

Supersym

@jmarkows ok I will try
But do you think it will work because I've the same issue if I use the mouse ?

jmarkows

@supersym I have the same Logitech panel and it fixed it for me. I don't know what you're doing or not doing with the mouse, but the engines.cfg_Honeycomb shortens the number of cranks necessary to start it because the Logitech/Honeycomb switches don't stay in start for very long and you can't change that.

Supersym

@jmarkows thanks a lot :relieved_face:

Where can I find the ‘engines.cfg_HoneycombYoke' file?

Thanks!

Hi !
It was a big mistake from me !
the tank's valave was off ! I didn't see it very well
But rename the file seems to get me CTD.
So first Put the tank on Left or Right and I can start the engine...
Apologize for loosing your time :frowning_face:

Supersym

finaly,
I need the file to start up with my logiteck panel !
I need too to open the valve of course :squinting_face_with_tongue:
Without the file I can start up with the mouse. The mistake was the valve.
May be last time the data were still in memory, and deleting the file did'nt erase the data of the driver in memory
I tried several times today, no CTD...
May be CTD are depending something else...
See you later :smiling_face:
