When I turn the knob to the Ign/Start, I am not seeing any pressure and failing to start number 2

When you press APU ECAM PAGE :

Hi Jacek,
Have you fixed this problem?
For whatever reason I am facing the same issue for a couple of days and I'm tearing my hair out.
Reinstalling the Fenix didn't help.

One other thing to try is to restart the external fenix program (you should have a shortcut on your desktop), its fine to do that with the sim running. It may just need to re-connect to the sim.

Another possibility I found was if you are using the Honeycomb Alpha, just check you don't have the magneto set on start as that caused me a conflict and the engines behaved as if they weren't receiving any bleed air.

@David RochDidn't see your response but that was my issue a few days ago, externally the engines were windmilling and I thought oh it must be really windy today!

Which switch was that? Like the GA key switch? What does it need to be set to? I have the ticket open and they seem to think it's an issue with a panel state, lol.

Another little gotcha I had the other day, I had two of the switches on my Bravo set to toggle afterburners, had left them engaged. My throttles were closed and on pushback and start my number one engine throttled up to flex power, even though in the cockpit visually the throttles were both at idle! Took me a minute to figure it out! All very embarrassing really!

I read so many problems on different forums  where the Bravo is mentioned  as part of the problem. Why is that?

Well this is mainly me being a moron really. I think with hardware it can conflict at times, I think Fenix have mentioned that they are working on some fixes to things, although I guess this is probably a user error on my end!

Yeah... I am soooooo happy I am using a simple joystick with basic rudder pedals. Works like a charm all the time.

That's me, Thrustmaster T 16000M, Logitek Pedals, and Logitek Quad Throttle. Not one issue.

Alpha and Bravo are currently the best in class for the money on the market, hands down. You shouldn’t think twice about it. 😉
