Poor Engine Starts

[hootsmangreen 0]

I constantly get bad starts. when first installed it did a good start but only lasted about thrice now it always has a bad start.

 

N2 = 22-25 engine fuel lever engaged then FF starts everything is normal but no VIB so then I shut down and start the engines myself I get two good starts, or if I startup myself after GRND CREW "You are free to start engines" I get two good starts. I wish I could fix this because it is the only blip in the entire sequence from "PREFLIGHT to SECURING AIRCRAFT"

Are you running the Before Start procedure? Sounds like you might be skipping that step, the plane isn't setup properly.

 

Do the engines have sufficient air pressure for start?

Yes at about 2 to 1 minute run B. Start Proc. All I've touched is CDU NAV align and the MCP efifs thats it and started from NGX CLD DRK on the FMC

 

I just did at sequence just now completed before start ceck list then went to S.Crew/ENG Start and it starts the engines but no VIB so when I increase the throttles there is no thrust . cut the engines and start myself and they start correctly.

Please send PMDG Support a ticket.

 

I can't explain that. Maybe they have an idea.

 

Thanks,
