FBW Engines Won't start

Something weird is happening... I am at the latest exp version and it happened again trying to start the engines.  Nothing happens.  I have done everything correct to this point.  Anyone else seeing this?  I got them back up and running for a few flights and now they won't spool again

I had a similar problem to that you described. It took me sometime to figure it out but I nailed it....in my case (check whether you have a similar issue) it was a joystick button that by default was assigned to APU start...check your joystick/yoke assignments and see if any of those may interfere with the FBW A320 engine start.

That was the issue.  I had something mapped to the apu on my thrust lever so I turned it of.  Thanks!!

I am having similar issue now - again ! cannot find issue .  When this originally was happening I updated my PC via DELL Support Assist my DELL drivers and firmware (i dont really know how this can affect MSFS) and after this i was able to make it thru the start process with both engines running, following the identical proc.  It was maddening the first time, since it went on for weeks !

I'm seeing something similar:  sometimes when the plane first loads to the departure airport turning on battery and external power does nothing, and from there it's hosed near as I can tell.  What's more is Self Loading Cargo believes its hot and engines are running when it's ice cold and nothing is running!  When this happens I have to reboot and start all over and pray...and I'm using the Stable version currently.

I´m experiencing the same issue with MSFS24.

Additional the Master Switch for Engine 1 is on by default and when I try to turn it off, in order to start Engine 2 first, it just flips back up.
So I also thought, it could be an issue with the control hardware and took a look in the settings. The Engine Master switches are not assigned.

Right now, it is impossible for me to start the engines.

Did anyone find a solution for this other than the wrong assigned controllers?
