Hi Hans,
Sorry for kicking in months later, but after quite a long time of not using this bird I just updated my CRJ only a few days ago (I'm still on FSXA) and tumbled over the same issue as @Tobus did in July. And as he did, I checked different configurations and scenarios.
A-- Just loaded a cold&dark flight:
After saving a previous flight in a fully cold&dark state (no external generator and Battery Master OFF), it comes up after a reboot of the sim with presets I didn't made myself (DAVE had been not used so far).
* MASTER CAUTION: ON
* DC-Service: ON
* BAT MASTER: ON
* ISOL: CLSD
* BLEED SOURCE: BOTH ENG
* EXTERNAL LIGHTS: NAV, BEACON, LOGO = ON
The APU starts normal
Any attempt starting the engines fails
Asking DAVE for setting up the plane to be ready for engine start leads to the never ending message: "Engines shutting down. Please wait..."
B-- Same scenario as before, but nothing done before switching on DAVE and selecting "Ready for Engine Start".
C-- After nothing happens, loading the default C172 (it loads with active 2D-panel) and starting its engine, back to the CRJ7 (running engines):
Asking DAVE for Cold & Dark --> Okay (everything is dark)
Asking DAVE for Ready for Engines Start --> Completed (however, MASTER WARNING & MASTER CAUTION are both illuminated)
Starting #2 --> OK
D-- Any scenario works when having loaded a default bird before booting the CRJ.
E-- Any history before works as well, when
asking DAVE to be ready for taxiing,
then asking first for Cold & Dark and then
for "Ready for Engine Start" or setting the bird up manually.
I think I got it all. I can live with the last work flow, however, there must be a bug somewhere.
Best regards
