I can start both, no problem.
Only problem I can think about is not doing the selection thing right.

Personally, I do it like this (and it works on all planes)
- Select both engines and set everything as it should except for mixture and throttle, both to idle.
- unselect all engines
- select one engine, set mix and throttle on that one engine, start.
- unselect all engines
- select the other engine, repeat procedure as before
- unselect all engines
- select all engines

This procedure has worked on all planes so far. Settings may change between different models but the select/unselect procedure is the same.

Thx, the proplem was solved already
I forgott to map the fuel "opening" for the right engine....
I was lost in the german translation of the keycommands, it is horrible!
And i try to avoid this mouseklicking in the cockpits.

I have some checklists derived from the actual Pilot's Notes and Handbuchs posted in this thread. Take a look and let me know what you think. They are in MS Excel format. Since I don't have the game yet (dang US release) I don't know if the start procedures carry over from real life to the sim. If someone could try them out, I would be most appreciative.

I can start the Spitfire and take off, but having real trouble with the BF 109. Following the video posted in the original post, the engine starts, but when I open the throttle fully, the aircraft just moves at taxi speed. The engine revs never really build up, as if the extra fuel going in the engine isn't being burnt?

EDIT: Sorted, wasn't changing the prop pitch enough.
