Blenheim Mk IV start up ?

[mcler002]

throttle too high?

try 5 - 10

the 2 wheel fuel cocks set to... inner (last option before close)

then you have to leave the engines running for around 10 - 15 minutes so that the oil temp goes up to 30 - 40 (so you may want to keep some of the "coolers" closed) before trying to taxi and take off....
if you try before, your'll notice the engines "over" rev/ struggling
if water rad hits 250oc+ your engines will begin to die!

took me a few trys

also watch your carburettor heats and mixture at high altittude

My problem is that the plane turns heavy to right. i can't go straight on the runway... All rudder left, more throttle for right engine and the plane turns heavy to right...

I'm experiencing the same thing.Cant keep her straight, veer off runway, not enough power to get lift.. crash..

I managed the whole cross-country mission with the blenheim at full realism CEM + temp. took me 1h 51 min. the engines work fine at 7000 feet -2 boost 24000 rpm

How did you get her off the ground without her veering right into the forest or the hanger?
