Snorre 74 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I had the CRJ installed on my old computer and it worked as designed. Now I installed it again on a new computer. The installation went fine, but now my problem is, that the engines don't start. I use a Honeycomb B Throttle Quadrant with an own profile for the CRJ. All mappings are removed with the exception of the throttles and the gear lever. No matter which aircraft state I use, the engines won't start. I follow the checklist, so the APU is running, the Fuel Pumps are on, Hydraulics as well, all Doors are closed. The N2 indicators move up to 20%, but moving the throttles forward does not generate fuel ignition, it stays at 20% N2. Also the "Ready to Taxi" state gets me an aircraft without running engines. The aircraft is refueled, all settings in the EFB are ok. Any idea what the problem could be? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puuhbear 114 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Is the aircrafts throttle in Idle detent or in shut off position? is your throttle calibrated? did you try starting it up with yoke and throttle disconnected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorre 74 Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 It is higher than the detent, the throttle is calibrated, and I will try to start without the Honeycomb throttle and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesOReilly 314 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 probably has Mixture Assigned to a lever ... if you do you need to move the mixture to full... Or unassigned mixture from any axis.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorre 74 Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 Thanks, I'll give that a try later tonight. But since I use a completely empty profile for the CRJ, I wonder where the mixture could come into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just something that has come up on the board multiple times for issues with engine starting and also engine power... Even though a Jet Engine does not have a Mixture control... The Simulator for some reason does have a negative impact do to this... Feel free to record and share the video of the issue.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorre 74 Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 Thanks, I found it. It was indeed a mixture setting left in the profile. I was sure I had deleted any entries but apparently I did not. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
