i just try to start the hurri... did you pump fuel before starting engines?

the little hand pump right side of your seat.

I don't think the handpump is for engine management, but rather an emergency pump for the landing gear/ flaps.

I start the hurri without it anyway....

Just make sure: Full rich mix, 10% throttle, press start and WAIT a minute or so for the engine to get running fine, otherwise it will choke and die when you pump up the throttle.

Good luck once you get up though

Probably redundant but did you switch the fuelcock to on? That kept me grounded te first mission.

yes I had the fuelcock on and I have read trough all the linked threads above. very interesting but I still cant even get the engine of the Hurricane in the first campagne mission started, whereas in my selfmade Hurricane Mission it is no problem, engin starts right away after preflight preparations (radiator, fuelcock, pitch etc. ...). I dont know? Maybe I just have to go on trying different settings, mixture, radiater etc.,... its kind of frustrating.
Probably something small I have not yet checked?

Thanks anyway for your reply

magnetos on, fuel cock on, throttle 10-20%, water radiator 50% and press start. Keep easing up the throttle to keep the boost gauge at 0 then when its warmed up push the throttle up to take off level.

Mixture is all the way down on the OSD for the Hurricane for Rich

Thanks for all your replys. The links were very interesting but I still cant get that Hurricane on the campagnes first mission started. The Germans have long time dropped their bombs, 2. wave is already coming right at me and I am still standing on the ground.
Fuelcock on, magnetos on, mixture set, radiator open, 3-5 times moved the pump (looks like a cars handbrake right?), put throttle to slightly 10%, proppitch to full - ignition - a few coughts from the engine - thats it.

I really wonder what is on that Hurricane so much different from the one I can fly without any problem in my selfmade mission? There are only 2 versions of the Hurricane anyhow in the game, can they be so different in handling?

Now that I learned to get along with the BF109 and the Hurricane, I`d like to play the campagnes. On the german campagne I get at least the plane in the air. The rather minor problem there is, I cant protect the reconflight before it gets killed (mission failed).

Well, well, .... things will hopefully improve
