Engine 2 gets off at taxi...

[Captain_Crow]

Hi, I flew the340 very often. Since yesterdsay the following occurs:

Starting both Engines #1 and#2 using External power. After Generators switching on,disconnecting EXT Power.

At begin of taxi ENG#2 gets off again without any reason to see.

What can be wrong?

Definitely need more information on this one.  Can you go through your entire start procedure?

Sorry Goran, yes Here we are:

Batt1 + 2 on

Connecting External Power via the Menu left

Switching EXT Power on on Overhead panel

Bringin up both Cond levers to start position

Starting number one, waiting until BEEP then to UNF position

Starting number two, waiting until BEEP then to UNF position

Waiting for generators getting into work

Switching all the electronics on plus Standby Pitot and bleeds

Flaps first position, Trimm checked

Parking brake released, Steering enabled

thust to taxi thrust, blocked by the barrier

Engines spooling up, but Eng 2 spools down after spooling up to getting off..

Never had this before, changed nothing in the sim. I have to do a research what this can be.

Curious.

If it happens again, can you please post your Log.txt file and GizmoLog.txt files immediately after shutting down the sim and make sure you shut it down with the Saab loaded.
Both files are found in your X-Plane root folder.

I'm no expert on the saab, so I will wait for others more qualified. However...

Shouldn't the Cond levers be advanced to MAX before Taxi?

I thought about this as well, but it's only engine 2 that is doing this.  The log files will tell us everything.

Guys, it is how it is: It works again. No idea why.

Can´t reproduce the failure/mistake, sorry.

But thank you all for jumping in and try to help!!
