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

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.

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?

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

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.

RGR...Good Luck  Smiley

BTW If anyone is wondering why its hard to get an engine start in Falcon 4, just about every switch & button in this cockpit is functional.  Shocked
