i tried the start up procedure in the quick missions, but the only response i got was engine stopped.although i did exactly the steps the above video shows.very annoying.however i pasted my 109 in full mission builder on an airfield and suddenly the procedure worked.
very strange those quick missions.i cannot even select a skin for my bf in quick missions.it just doesnt save my configurations i did on the plane.

We should have a sticky for start up procedures.

in general use LEAN mixture and IDLE throttle in all planes.
Than , in the most you have to activate the fuel first, yes. Excetions so far are :Bf110, G.50 and Br.20 IIRC.
the easiest wuld be to map a key on that function not to have to search the cockpit with your mouse....

in the Spits, Hurris, FIATs and Blenheim to wait till the engine gets some temperature before giving more throttle and mixture is very important, otherwise your engine i quits..

and now something special: the Br20 and Blenheim you have to activate carburetor preheating too , OH YES ;)
map it too a key is my best advice :D

you dant have to activate the magnetos manually, the "start button" (on whatever key you have it, i strg+I ;) ) is activating them :)


i have only ONE big proplem: in the Ju88, He111s and Bleheim i am only able to start the left engine !! right engine dont start. Any ideas ??

My spitfire video, im gonna be working on making a series of startup videos for the allied planes
