Hot start with a PT6A-67D

Hi,
While working on a Beech 1900D simulator, the NAA said that the hot start malfunction should allow the engine to actually start. Our model ramps the ITT very rapidly to 1000°C and stops the N1 at about 30%. While I have looked at the postings here about not getting a hot start, there has been very little about what does happen. Anyone out there who would like to share what happens when a PT6 does hot start?

Thanks!
