Suggestion: User made startup procedures!

Here is the 109.

Since I made this I found out that radiator at 50% is correct and to always keep an eye on engine temp. Plus leading edge settings were for Tiger moth only.

Cool vid, thanks...does the engine always start? for example throttle at 2 percent, does she start, and then die?

I mis typed!

The radiator only opens up to 50%

You would make a fine politician, you dodged my question...does the engine start and then die due to pilot error during the start-up procedure, ..or.. the motor will always start and stay running, no matter any pilot error such as closed throttle? Just curious if hard starting run/die due to pilot error is modeled...I gotta get this game, so many questions

Any cold start vids for the Blenheim Bomber?

I like the BOB WOV startup procedure where you had to prime the fuel pump 7 times before the engine started. This could be very immersive when the field is being attacked and your trying to get the engine started. Sometimes you would miss count in panic situations and the engine would just turn over or partial start and die.

I kind of figured out how to start up most of them planes... It is important to find magnetos for the engine that you wanna start and turn them on, and turn all fuel tanks that can be turned on.
German planes just start right up and you are ready to go, with the British ones you need to play around with the throttle a bit. Start with like 10% throttle and slowly add up when the prop start turning. Watch the RPM gauge. I guess it is because of the fuel injection/carburattor difference. On Tiger Moth you need to play with the mixture too, start with low mixture and throttle, follow the RPM gauge with throttle movement, and when the rpm is steady, turn up the mixture to max. After like 10 seconds turn up the throttle and you are ready to go.
I don't say this is the best way, just that it works.
Now im gonna start learning how not to fry the engine when flying the plane...
