ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
The “new” (FS2024) Antonov AN-2 starter is not working properly in some variants, e.g. “cargo wheels”. The switch to spin-up is flipping back after a few seconds, even when holding.
Other variants e.g. “passenger wheels” work fine.

I’m experiencing the same problem. In the cargo variant the starter switch can not be held continuously to energize the motor.
