rwilsonlj Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hello: Just updated to V1.1.4. Every time I attempt to start the engine, I get a hot start condition. All static elements are removed, GPU attached, AUX BP on, waiting for 15% NG, ITT<150 then set low idle. ITT continues up through the red line and I have to cutoff fuel (getting the hot start warning at the top of the screen as well). Not sure what I am doing wrong. I think I am doing the same as previous versions when I had no problems. I'm pretty sure it asked to update my license (email & password) after I downloaded the new version. Any help appreciated.

Goran_M Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 150 is still too high for the ITT. You need to be at <120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwilsonlj Posted January 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Thanks for your info Goran_M. Just to clarify, I'm not trying to start the engine when the ITT is already at or above 150 degrees. This is a cold and dark start. The ITT is zero.

Goran_M Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Are you trying to introduce fuel too early? The NG given for an engine start is a minimum of 15%. Feel free to introduce fuel at up to 20% NG. Bringing fuel in too early, if the conditions are right, can lead to an engine fire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
