Assuming you have master on fuel set up etc
Throttle to Idle (move it up a bit from off)
JFS to 2
RPM gauge to 20%.
Throttle to 50%
Press Idle Detent

Throttle to 70%
RPM gauge to 25%+ & climbing
Throttle to Idle
RPM gauge to 70%
finish start-up

cheers AvHistory shall give it a go (will let u know wot happens lol)

[flyingbart]

nope nothing go through the proper procedures and press the idle detent then click the jfs to start2 throttle at idle but nothing the gauge doesnt budge

[AvHistory]

press the idle detent then click the jfs to start2 throttle at idle

The sequence you listed is not right.

Idle detent gets clicked after JFS2-RPM/20%-Throttle/50%-Press Idle Detent.

As soon as you hit JFS2 the engine should start to wind up. Be sure you are opening it enough on the initial idle setting.

[flyingbart]

do i have to keep holding down the jfs to start button or can i just click it cos nothing on the rpm gauge still moves not a bit even if i do the idle detent after but i carnt do that cos it doesnt even get too 20 percent

[flyingbart]

This is driving me nuts everthing i do i get no reply from the gauge wot so ever

[AvHistory]

Just one click it.  

Are you sure that:

Master Power 2-clicks
Master Fuel 1-click
Engine Fuel Feed/Normal 1-click
Air Source/Normal 1-click

are all set BEFORE you make the initial throttle to Idle move?

[flyingbart]

yep as above

[AvHistory]

try pushing throttle up to 50-60% of travel for idle setting & see what happens.

[flyingbart]

nope i think im gonna give it up as a bad job nothing seems to make the engine start no matter wot i do :-/

[AvHistory]

Its worth moving the throttle through its entire throw a couple times before starting the whole procedure to ensure the analogue axes are "kicked in" and being read by the program too.

[flyingbart]

cheers avhistory tried that still nothing i might re-install the game maybe its something to do with that .ive recently updated to 1.0.5 maybe it has something to do with that patch cos i only put that on 3 days ago.
