Can't start engine 2 on the freeware Super Puma from Dirk Fassbender

Hi all,

I have a problem with this magnificient copter.
I can start the engine 1 with no problems at all. The main rotor goes to 100% rotation speed, no problems.
But the engine 2 refuses to start ! The starter will just go forever, but the engine won't start. :isadizzy:

What did I miss ?
 
You could take a look into the gauges (if they're XML) and maybe just copy the code from starter one for started two?
(With adapted variables, of course.)
 
I have finished my tests and came to the conclusion that this helicopter is not made for starting cold and dark. Its gauges do not recognize the position of the switch in the cockpit, so sometimes ON gets OFF and vice-versa.
But if I choose the copter when the sim is not cold and dark (starting another plane before selecting the copter), it works fine.

A very nice piece of freeware, by the way :ernae:

I have made a new cold and dark flight by choosing the default Baron, starting it, shutting engines and electrics off, and saving the flight as default.

Now the Super Puma start both its engines manually !! :jump::jump:
