I'm using X-Plane 11 and just recently downloaded the 650 Sim. Paid more for this sim than any other sim I've purchased, so I'm not going to give up, yet. I'm able to turn the battery on but can't get the APU to start, no rotation, no nothing. Also when I select external power and ASU, the engine won't start either......... Any ideas on what may be causing this?

Yes, I have APU bleed air and power source checked in the plane maker, along with the APU option itself. It still isn't starting.

I have noticed that APU's EGT does raise when bleed air consumers get connected (engine starter valve most prominently): However, when hooking up electric consumers to the APU generator (or hooking the whole busses to the APU gen), the EGT doesn't flinch: I have no real aircraft at hand to verify, but from experience with other aircrafts I would have expected to see the EGT react also on electrical load changes. I couldn't find any videos for the real thing where the EGT display is fully visible on generator hook-up (in most videos it's just covered by the pilot's or FO's hand grabbing the APU GEN connector switches...). But again I don't know how it would work exactly in a 733, so probably someone can enlighten me wethere this is the typical behaviour, of if it's still on IXEG's todo list
