I can't start the bloody thing! I've tried every throttle and mixture setting and she just doesn't start. I've followed the You Tube video instructions and they don't help. Was it broken in the last patch and nobody has noticed?

Can you start the Tiggie with CEM on? Don't cheat and use AI like I had to?

I tried it now, 7% throttle when u start the engine. U have to wait a lot of time, untill the engine warm up (dont push -or pull- more throttle). But its work. Increase the rpm carefully (1-2%), when rpm fall, stop the throttle. Wait a little, then increase rmp again. You will hear, when the engine ready to take off (engine oil pressure will increase fast).

edit: better if u create new info window, engine info set "digital".

Hey thanks Tom. The digital settings told me what was wrong. My throttle had lost calibration and the lowest setting was 16%.

That's why I couldn't start the blasted thing. Oddly enough I was able to start other aircraft with the same settings.

Im using both setups. Digital is accurate, but ugly
