All that was needed there was a little trial and error and some patience (9 mins worth).. The latter being a rare commodity these days in the xgen sound byte gimmie gimmie now era.
You don't seem to understand. 9 minutes is the time it takes to get the engine started after repeatedly pressing the starter to get the engine to a point where it'll actually start. It's not 9 minutes until "OH! That's how you do it. Voila".

If you want to sit at a desk and press the "I" key over and over for 9 minutes, go ahead. No amount of moving mixture this way or that way, moving fuel to just 11.482895 percent, etc is going to cut down on that time if this bug is in any way like the last one of this nature.

At least this one is ONLY 9 minutes. That one was more like 15. I'm prettttty sure that Battle of Britain pilots didn't run out to their Hurricanes and quickly strap themselves in to have a NAP for a quarter of an hour.

So unless you can record a video that shows:
a) the game starting with the current patch update in the lower right corner
b) jumping into an online server such as ATAG or Storm of War Campaign Server via the menus
c) selecting a Hurricane DH 5-20 or Rotol
and
d) managing to start it within 30 seconds

Unless you can prove all that, I'll take what I've seen with my eyes and done with my hands and heard from my trusted friends over your remarks.

But I won't hold my breath for it. You see, I'm patient like that.

I'm not being accusatory or angry in this, btw. I'm honestly asking for a video tutorial if it's as simple as you're making it out. If Catseye can't get the thing started within 9 minutes, then I'm preeettttty sure that I can't. He's a better pilot than I am by a long chalk. Nitrous probably got it because he simply is a stubborn bugger and held on through the rage
