[simpits-tech] Falcon 4 Engine Start Fault Help !

[simpits-tech@simpits.org]

Thanks for yor help !

I am using SP3

Parking Brake - ON
Ext Ligths Master - ON
Anti-Col Lts - ON/Flashing
Wing/Body Ext lts - Bright
Fuel Master - ON
Fuel Pumps - Normal
Fuel Readout - Normal
EPU - Normal
Air Source - Normal
Avionics - All OFF
Sensors - All OFF
Elec Pwr - BATT/MAIN

Throttle - shutoff
JFS - Start
Throttle - Advance to Idle position
Idle Detent - (at 20% rpm) Press
Throttle - Advance to Mil position
HERE is where the "Eng Fail" light comes on (when it dose)

I put it on the F4UT site. Two others had the same thing happen but no solid
solution that I can see yet.
