Here's the CloD Hurri startup procedure:

Open your canopy (ok, not necessary)
fuel cock: main tank
mixture: full rich
prop: fully fine
thottle: 1/2 inch open
Magneto 1: on
Magneto 2: on
Shout contact!
Start the engine


The Spitfire startup is the same, only that the fuel cock has to be switched to "on", there's no "main tank" there.
If you wanted to start her properly Reflected, switch the fuel cock to reserve and then switch to main tank after start up.
Although in game at the moment you can start her up on the main tank, something a real Hurricane Mk.I cannot do.

Thanks for the info, Moggy!
Why isn't it possible to start her up on the main tank? I'm very curious.

The main tanks were below the engine and the pump would not operate until the engine was running. So the reserve (gravity) tank was used to start the Hurricane Mk.I, this was fixed in the Mk.II and that could start on main tanks.
There's a great Fleet Air Arm 1943 movie called "Fleet Fighter" all about the training of fighter pilots on Hurri Mk.Is which I recommend to anyone who wants to learn about the Hurri.

I see, very interesting! How come the devs didn't know about this? Such things are needed for a more immersive sim.

I've already made a post about it in the FM/DM forum and mentioned it in a patch thread but it's a very minor issue to be honest. I'd like to be able to start a mission on the ground with the canopy already open, seems silly to me to have it already closed.
