I can't even see in the whole modeldef.xml a script for APU Bleed Air
there is no checklist in this model (I haven't make it yet)
I could do it as a new part  ,but that's not the reason why I can't get it start while others using my own made aircraft can  :-/ 

Let's change the way I ask


How can I start from cold the FSX Learjet45? 

Forget the default planes, because they are lacking a lot of instruments.
For a plane with the same systems as your Citation, I would say that a summary startup would be:
1- Battery ON (needed to start the APU)
2- APU Start
3- APU Gen
Now you have electrical power, so you can switch on your avionics and radios (usually linked).
4- Avionics ON
Now you are able to comunicate, and request clearance for taxi. If you are allowed to taxi, then you can switch the engines on.
5- Engine 1 fuel valve open (mixture and engine RPM controls have to be 100%, commands would be CTRL+F4 and CTRL+SHIFT+F4)
6- Engine 1 start
7- Engine 1 Gen
8- Engine 2 fuel valve open (mixture and engine RPM controls have to be 100%, commands would be CTRL+F4 and CTRL+SHIFT+F4)
9- Engine 2 start
10- Engine 2 Gen
Now that you have real power sources, you don't need the APU anymore.
11- Disable APU Gen
12- Disable APU

For the APU bleed etc... those are systems that are not modelled in your plane anyway, so having the above procedure applied would already be good

By the way, this is the sequence I use to start my A2A Boeing 377 with Accusim. Sure it's a prop plane, but that gives an idea about a "realistic" sequence

Mmm I was going to post something ,but it doesn't belong to this area, go to aircraft&design

The FS team got lazy when making the kneeboard and just instructed everyone to press Ctrl + E to get the engines going. I wish they would have outlined the full, manual engine start procedure...

You can however, get third-party checklists with the procedures...
