Yes and no... it depends on the time of day on the server. Starting on the ATAG mission where it's just before dawn you'll still find yourself spamming the ignition key for a while before the engine will start up (on the 1a 100 Oct at least - not tried the 2a). As time on the server progresses to later in the day, when presumably the temperature of the environment warms from the Sun's glow, it becomes possible to start the engine in one go.

However, there is still a lengthy wait upon ignition before the engine warms up sufficiently to taxi and takeoff in the Spitfire compared with the 109 atm. It's not a major problem, more a small pain when you're trying to get airborne before vultures arrive or for example in a multiplayer campaign, where being able to scramble and get to altitude in time is of paramount importance.

EDIT: don't get me wrong, it's not a major problem like we have with the Hurricanes but if it could be fixed while preserving the newly fixed Spitfire FMs that'd be great. If it's a choice between a warm engine start but nerfed FMs/engine overheating problems (like the last patch), or what we have now, I'll happily take what we've got in this patch.

Make airstarts for now on ATAG, the worst thing with the Hurricane now is that it absolutely sucks at turning.

Not sure what your point is..

Is this question in regards to me pointing out how short the list of 'broken promiseses" is?

Assuming that is the case, you should know that no one (that I know of ) considers the the engine starting issue a "broken promises", it is just a bug.

Hope that helps! S!

Nope not a broken promise....just incompetence by the devs!

That's the reason i asked you how can i start the Hurricane engine... ;)

You are really amazing! :-P

Now, please, go back to your cave...

boy your a freakin hero!!!!

Glad you agree with me! S!

Incompetence?

You don't write software for a living or pleasure do you?

May I suggest that you goggle software bug and do a little reading on the subject?

After which you hopefully realize that most if not all software has bugs at one point or another, even reoccurring one, and thus not an indication incompetence and just the nature of the work.

Actually that is not true..

Granted the title is a little misleading, but read the OP and take note that he brought up several issues beyond the starting issue, i.e.

As you can see the OP also brought a mixture lever issue

Agenda?

Actually that is not true..

As you can see from my first post (jump in point) I was discussing the mixture lever issue that the OP brought up..

Where I pointed out the post by luither made note of the mixture lever being fixed, which resulted in it being reversed from previous version

We all want different things!

Me, I just wanted help the OP out by pointing out that luither made note of the mixture lever being reversed in that at that time it was clear he didn't realize that and that it may have something to do with him not being able to start the engine

Cave?

Sorry you lost me there

Ace is still in backpedal mode since he was telling the OP that it wasn't a bug and he just wasn't trying hard enough. Now he's on this "broken promise" crusade to help mask the fact that he put his foot in his mouth...again.

It is rather amusing isn't :lol:, really quite pathetic. But guys please don't quote him I have him on ignore for a reason.

Thanks

No worries about that Krupi!

Because they know if they quoted me it would show that I was initally talking about the mixture levers and not the engine starting.. It was not until my next post that I pointed out (quoted) Uthers re-post that some folks were able to start the engines online.. Which would also make it clear that at no time did I say this was not a bug.

PS I know you don't have me on ignore, due to the fact that every so often you reply to my posts, so, you only make yourself look silly trying to pretend you have me on ignore! ;)
