Am i missing something?

You have clickable cockpit on (F10)?

[Jimbosmith]

yes i can click all the other stuff, just cant move the fuel cock in all aircraft.

I have even tried setting a control for it in my option still dosnt work

[Jimbosmith]

ok i think i found out why, didnt have limited fuel set in my realism options.

i have maybe the same problem for the 109, hurricane works fine though.

i uploaded a recording when i was trying to get that old thing working... didnt work. it always says "Engine Stopping" when attempting to start it.

Not seen the track but for the 109 I do this:
Pitch 0
Throttle about 20%
Magneto's on
Fuel on
Press I

Im just uploading a video to youtube on how i start up a spitfire, not perfect but it may help someone

okay, go to multiplayer, click on server, ok, then load mission, start battle select blue army get into a 109 and try to start.... load the multiplayer dogfights carrier map...

Just where in the manual, or on the training missions does a new paying customer (Often called a troll acording to the stickys here) find this basic stuff (How to start the engine) without having to come cap in hand to this forum?

Still no go here in starting the Hurri:
Pitch to low for less work for engine startup.
Magnetos on.
Fuel Cock.
Fuel mixture rvich.
Hand Pump 5-10 times.
Start Engine.
Puff, nothing.

109 on the other hand, immediately starts using exact same procedure.

Anybody? :S

EDIT: Ok, now the Hurri started, I did nothing but same procedure as above, after about 20 tries in one mission (As in, just one flight, no restarts, no exits, etc)

The Spit on the other hand, when I adjust Prop Pitch and Mixture on that, the levers just goes ON-OFF :S And ofcourse, no chance in hell of getting it started up :S

[Jimbosmith]

Note i forgot the switch on the magnetos on in the video as, i had done it before recording but should help someone. I had to play about with the pitch and mixture as i didnt know what i was doing lol but i got it moving
