With those tips I was able to start the engine of SpitII, take off and land. I don't know if earlier the problem was using wrong amount of throttle. Still need to do the same with SpitI, but thanks a LOT guys!

It is pretty satisfying when you get the CEM figured out, I am still trying to find my way around the maps on the hardcore servers, but I guess it just takes air time to get yourself up to speed, untill then I just keep getting lost lol...

Navigation is easy once you get the hang of it.

Let's say you get lost on the big Channel map. There are a number of steps you should take to get your bearings.

1. Are you flying Blue or Red, and are you over friendly territory or enemy territory? Easy way to narrow down your location to either France or England, right away cutting off half the map.
2. Can you see the coast? Fly towards it. If you're over France, the coast is generally NW of you. If you're over England, the coast is generally SE of you. If you're over the Channel, England is usually north, and France is usually south.
3. Open your map and take note of which direction you are flying.You're going to be looking at landmarks, so make it easy on yourself by being able to know which direction that river runs, and which direction that forest seems to point.
4. Look for landmarks, starting with the most obvious and moving to the most subtle. Firstly, look for the big peninsulas, like Dungeness (near Folkestone) or Wissant (near Calais). Look for easily-identifiable coastlines like the little nook near Ramsgate, or Abbeville. Airfields next, most of them are quite unique. Then look for cities, some of them have distinguishing landmarks, like the circular island in downtown Calais or the hook-shaped peninsulas at Dover and Folkestone. You should have a relatively decent idea of where you are now. For more precision you can move on to roads and forests.
5. Once you find a landmark that you can identify positively, then you just look at where you are relative to it."That looks like the airfield north of Folkestone, and I'm flying 090, and it's at my 2 o'clock, so I therefore must be a bit NW of Folkestone. Somewhere in my 5 o'clock region must be the Dungeness peninsula."

Thanks for the tips, it really wasnt a complaint as much as it was just new to me, I will get the hang of it, just take some time to learn the environment is all.
