Hurricane engine startup Problem
 
.... does anyone know how to get the Hurricane in the first mission of the campagne startet?

I am flying with complexe engine management and in other selfmade missions I have no problem getting the Hurricane off the ground.

In the first mission of the campagne I dont even get the engine started.
I open the fuelswitch, open the radiator, set mixture to rich, switch on the two magnetos, put proppitch on full and throttle on about 20% and push ignition - nothing, only a slight movement of the prop and some clouds from the exhaust pipes thats it, what is different on that Hurricane compared to the one I normally get started?

Anyone know?
:confused:

put less than 20% of throttle... for me i start with only 10%

is the proppitch. it is fix on DH and two position in rotol.

i just try to start the hurri... did you pump fuel before starting engines?

the little hand pump right side of your seat.

I don't think the handpump is for engine management, but rather an emergency pump for the landing gear/ flaps.

I start the hurri without it anyway....

Just make sure: Full rich mix, 10% throttle, press start and WAIT a minute or so for the engine to get running fine, otherwise it will choke and die when you pump up the throttle.

Good luck once you get up though ;)

Probably redundant but did you switch the fuelcock to on? That kept me grounded te first mission.
