I have tried to make a trainingflightmission with the editor. It works but when you are in the cockpit (BF109) and try to begin with startup procedures, the plane starts to turn and tilt slightly to the left and nothing can stop it, no brakes, no locked tailwheel (wonder if it works at all?).
Apart from that, you cant get the engin running. You set the magnets, turn them on, set your mixture open radiators, put proppitch low and start ignition.
The propeller makes half a turn, you see some little clouds from the engine and thats it, out, no engin startup.

When you fly a given mission its the same, a few minutes flying and your cockpit is full of oil.
Maybe I do something wrong but if the sim is so "reailstic" this time, they should have better tutorials in the manual for such things.
That including the many bugs the sim still has, makes it impossible at the moment to fly and have fun. Hope a coming patch will make things better but for now I just leave it aside.

By the way, thats not my first flightsim, until this one came out, I was flying IL2 from the beginning 10 years ago, (also on full real settings).

Set separate brakes for 109 (L and R). Historically 109 had different breaking system than Spit or Hurri. It is simulation.

According to your description you forgot to open fuel cock when start engine.

In Spit or Hurri open radiator completely(!) to be safe (and do not go 100% throttle, watch instruments to stay from the red zone). In 109 halfway radiator is enough.

ps. You can find actual Spit manual from the 1940s in pdf and study it btw. Why would you need game manual if it simulates real thing? The 109s manual is in German unfortunately. But 109's CEM is easier.
