rescue Pilot mission

[chass32]

Hi,
i`m just trying to complete the mission where u have to rescue another pilot behind enemy lines. The problem is that once I land my spitfire I realize that I don`t know how to start the engine Yeah, I know, it sounds really stupid but I can`t. I`ve got the PS3 version with a Thrustmaster .Flight Hotas X, tried all buttons, the throttle, been reading the instructions booklet (spanish version for me) and I can`t see anything about start engines or even brakes. What am I doing wrong? or am I just plain idiot?

Thx

PD: I`m playing on realistic mode
