hello all,
i'm trying to start up the spit IIA in CEM, for some reason the fuel cock won't move from the off position.
i tried to assign it to a key, move it with the mouse, use the force on it - but nada.
i'm playing with the stock version, no beta patch installed.
btw - this happens with other variants of the spit as well...
am i missing something here? any advice would be welcome.

I ran further checks and found out that the fuel cock lever doesn't work for me on hurricane and Blenheim as well (those are the only planes i tried).
all other toggles and switches seems to work fine.
any ideas?

I had similar issue with 109 but only in some particular offline mission (qmb mission edited with fmb). The cock did not move but I still could start an engine.
Try other mission or online. Maybe the problem is mission related somehow.

Are you by any chance flying with unlimited fuel? I think i remember there was such a bug in the non-patched version, if you didn't choose limited fuel in the realism options the fuel selectors were unusable.

unlimited fuel was the problem - you can verify it as a bug!
10x for the help...

ugh I'm having the same problem, except the fuel cock and the radiator don't budge, I've messed with limited fuel and assigned buttons, I've still got nothing :mad:

ugh, the only thing working in the start up are the magnetos :confused:

Do you have both complex engine management and engine temperature effects enabled in the realism settings?

I joined Syndicates tonight and I had the same issue throttle control would only work intermittently, and the mixture and rads wouldn't move but intermittently.
