my NGX has a problem starting the engines with one will start up all the way and the 2nd will not. The thrust levers are moving in the VC, but N1 stays locked around 20.4%  I'm using a Saitek Pro Flight setup.

I can only have one engine running normal left or right, its the last engine that gets started thats having the problem.

If the left engine is running and im starting the right i get the smoke puff from start up and thats all.

Its become a real problem using VAFS as the engines need to be shut down to start the flight.

The only way is to pick a plane thats running like stock 737 load everything i need to for VAFS then jump to the NGX and hit start flight.

Most of the time the systems are still starting up and VAFS thinks the engines are not running and they just start up.

Only happens if i have to start my engines but if i jump in the NGX with engines running i dont have the problem.

 

I would love some help on this please.

Most of these problems are caused by throttle calibration issues. Try re-calibrating your throttle axis' in FSX only. Delete any other throttle axis assignments. Leave a DISTINCT null zone at idle and at full throttle. Then restart FSX and let us know if you now can control thrust with throttle.

Thanks Carl doing what you say worked.

 

I done lots of testing before posting back to say it works and now my PMDG is the best its ever been thanks.
