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...
