Just a long shot, have you tried clicking off it but around it? Also if you are using TrackIR look at it and disable TIR so that it remains absolutely steady while you experiment.

I'll try that Klem. But it wouldnt be such a problem were it not that all keys i bind to it don't work either! :p I also tried the axes. but no go. But.. i'll try klicking around it with trackir disabled.

edit: checked in game and nothing will budge the fuelcock. I believe there has been a patch gone through since i notice now that the throttle brings back the mixture like its supposed to. Without ghosting through the lever that is. ah well.. i'll wait for a patch. Because i would like to play the campaign first. which is now impossible.

It seems that the fuel cock stops working when you enable the Engine Temperature Effects. I can start the hurricane just fine with ETE turned off but it simply wont start when it's enabled.

Thanks tymi I'm going to borrow your quote for in the bugreport thread. that should narrow things down. At least if the devs are reading it :p

As a quick suggestion off the top of my head, do you guys still have anthropomorphic control turned on, if so I'd try turning it off?

[kingpinda]

I have it off since i read about some other bugs raising their heads when its on. been off since day 2. but thanks for the tip. I'll try tonight disabling realistic temp as posted above. That way I can still play the campaign

Anything is worth a try I suppose, I do have CEM and engine temperature effects switched on, with anthropomorphic switched off...the fuel cock switch is working fine for me. This is a real head scratcher.

I've had this problem too, intermittently. It is really annoying.

Negative on that one. I've never had temperature effects off, and I have been switching tanks.

Interesting indeed, i can start the hurricane only with the temp effects off. I have tried pretty much every trick in the book and that's the only way for me to get the engine running . Bf-109 starts fine with the temp effects on! Though i had to disable the anthropomorphic thingie, it was preventing me from, well, doing pretty much anything

Interesting here too?????

After seeing the videos i tried to fire up the engines on a blenhem. Fuel cock is not working for me.

This i had with the 109 too.
