Heres what happens to me, I move lever for engine right to cutoff, then press the right start button. At about 20 N2, I move lever to idle. engine spools down, and I have to repeat  a second time to get engines to fire up. What am I doing wrong?

I think you may need to hit Ctrl+Shift+F4 ("fuel on" in turbines, "full rich" in recips) before you do anything else, your default flight is probably saved in fuel cutoff mode (Ctrl+Shift+F1). Next time you hear it spool down press Ctrl+Shift+F4 and see if it takes off.

Thanks for the reply but thats not the case. There must be a reliable procedure for this? Unless Carenado strikes again?

At 20 %, it is too late. Move the lever before (N2 at 6 % for example).

Ok, I'll try that. Thanks

Greetings everyone! Please help me to get the XL560 engines to start. What I do:
Battery master - ON; APU master - ON; APU start - START; APU Bleed - ON; APU generator - ON; L+R generators - ON; Ignition - ON.

And nothing. Neither N1 nor N2 is rising. Fuel boost to ON do not help. Maybe missed something? Thank you in advance.
