ProSim: Engines won't start: Engine Start Valve on, off and on again

[Marcel Demers]

Hello, I am flying P3D with ProSim and a JetMax SKTQ from FDS with an overhead panel. Lately I cannot get the engines to start. When I turn the engine switch to GRD, the sequence starts with the START VALVE OPEN is on and then it turns off momentarely and turns on again. Everytime the ligth turn off I am also dopping N2 pressure momentarely and then the pressure goes up  when the light turns on again . I tried to active the Fuel lever as late as possible (N2 24-25) and if the Start Valve Open light is on at that moment the engine likely will start, but shuts down again.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sorry, I don't use ProSim, and can only support FSUIPC. I suggest you try ProSim support or maybe AVSim.
Maybe other ProSim users can help, but if you want  to attract anyone's attention you really need to give your posts a better title - you don't even mention ProSim there....I will update it...

Hi John, I a new user of this foru. I use FSUIPC7 and FSUIPC v6.2 so I reached out. Thank you for guided me in. 

[John Dowson]

No problem. I can help with any issues or questions with FSUIPC, but for issues with specific aircraft, especially complex add-ons like ProSim, probably better to contact the support for the aircraft, I was under the impression that all the newer versions of ProSim handle the assignments themselves and don't use FSUIPC for much (although I may be mistaken).
If you can't resolve your issue via ProSim, let me know and I can ask Pete (the original author of FSUIPC) as he is a ProSim user and may be able to help, although he is retired now.
I don't fly airliners so can't really comment on such issues if not related to FSUIPC.

Regards,

John

Thank you John, your help is very appreciated. Please do, I have tried to reach out to ProSim, and it seems to be difficult lately.

Regards,

Marcel

Btw, why did this issue start only "lately"? Do you know what changed to provoke this issue?

[Marcel Demers]

No clue. Never had this issue before. I always use the same procedure to shut down. Yesterday P3D did some updates. I thought it could have resolve the issue, but no success.

Yesterday, I started the engines with P3D with the keyboard (ctrl E). I heard the engines running but could get my equipment respond to any command.

Have you assigned in ProSim or in FSUIPC? If its not responding, activate logging for Buttons & Keys as well as Events, and show me / attach your FSUIPC6.log and FSUIPC6.ini files, the latter  showing your issue. I can take a look to see if I can see anything strange, but this depends how/where you have assigned.

Note that support will be slow over the Christmas/New Year period, as I am also now on holiday and need a break....

No problem, I will work on it.

In the meantime, Merry Chirstmas and Happy New Year.

Thank you very much again, for you  support.

Ok, but you should at least show me your files...these are what I need to at least have some understanding of your issue - I cannot really help at all without seeing those...

And a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well!
