The real-world R22 does not have a beacon light, only a strobe, so the aircraft.cfg light fix in the first post is the correct one to use, but it is only halfway there; you also need to change the light fx entry to fx_strobe, as follows. :light.3 = 2, -18.90, 0.04, 2.58, fx_strobe This information was verified by a panel image search, reference to the R22 POH, and internal/external video of the real-world R22 startup procedure. Something a "purist" would have done.

Yes, I know this is old, but in case anyone stumbles across this while searching for a fix, as I did, then note that the light IS a strobe, and so the correct fix is in post #3 EDIT: Link to post#3 - http://www.avsim.com/topic/28681-fs2004-r22-strobe-light-fix/#entry175175

This bug still exists in 2.60.1 and 2.60.03, although it can be sneaky. You can set ChangeTime and TransitionTime to 0.000000 and SimStarter will run fine, several times. However, if you start FSX directly (i.e. without using SimStarter) and then open SimStarter, the app will crash as above and continue to do so, screwing up all your configs, until you change the values. Now.... back to recreating all my profiles :/
