DH Caribou engine will not start after doing 100% checklist? Still broken?

After selecting Fuel Boost Normal, pushing Start and Prime switch to right and setting for 800rpm nothing happened. Even i choose auto complete item it fails. Is the Caribou still broken?
After starting again i now choose auto complete right from start and it hangs again at “Throttle Engine 2: Set for 800 RPM”.

I let it run for 5 minutes. It definetely hangs up at “Throttle Engine 2: Set for 800 RPM”. How can i fly this plane without starting the props?

Hello, I moved your post to Community Support.

I’ve found it needs the mixture at least a bit open.
The official thread is here:

Funny thing. I found out myself yesteday late evening. Just sitting in the cockpit and tryin something. The order in checklist is wrong. Hope they fix it with next patch!

I think it is intended to simulate a startup procedure like the BR Goose (that has similar engines), where you prime the engine, engage the starter and when the engine has caught on you induce fuel by setting the mixture to full rich. Haven’t checked the Caribou POH though.
