Impossible to start engine A359 V1.2.7

Featured Replies

Good evening,

I was on a normal flight, following the same procedure I usually do,I started Engine 1... and it didn't start. N2 oscillated around 4.5%, while N1 remained at 0%.

I tried to restart it by turning the engine off. This time, as I moved the Engine Master switch to the OFF position, N1 climbed to 10%. I moved the Engine Master switch back to the ON position to inject fuel, but nothing happened, as I noticed that the fuel flow was at 0.

I switched the left fuel pumps off and back on, and the fuel flow increased to 850 kg/h, but N1, N2, and N3 remained unchanged.

I then tried starting Engine 2, but I encountered the same problem.

I can confirm that the engine mode selector was in the IGNITION/START position during the start sequence, and that the fuel pumps, APU, and APU bleed were all ON. I even tried switching the PACKs OFF, but it made no difference.

I've done more than 150 flights with the A359, and this is the first time I've ever encountered this issue.

Thank you in advance

Hi,

I'm not entirely sure what could be causing this. Could you please try on a default or iniBuilds livery?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have same issue, I manage to startup but cannot start the engines with APU on, also tried L & R pack off though it was not required before, as well as changing to default livery. All are with no help. I'll fall back to v1.2.6

Thanks.

I just tried using the default livery, but the problem persists.

I've taken some additional screenshots to show you the issue.

I can confirm that the engine mode selector was in the IGNITION/START position during the start sequence, and that the fuel pumps, APU, and APU bleed were all ON.

I set Engine 1 Master to the ON position, and the engine started to spool up briefly before stopping, as shown in screenshot #1.

I then moved the Engine Master switch back to the OFF position, but the engine continued the starting procedure and stopped , as shown in screenshot #2.

I then moved Engine 1 Master back to the ON position, and N1 climbed to 10%, as shown in screenshot #3.

I even tried the manual start procedure, but without success.

Thank you for your help
