Engine Start??

[badfinger]

That doesn't appear to have worked. Although, my computing skills are worse than normal.

I found 4 confuser.ini files, and put 'I=enginei01" in each, but no joy.

hi binky7,

Four confUser files does not sound right! I'm only guessing so hopefully someone else here with more knowledge will chime in.

In the confUser file is a section: [Hotkey pilot]
quote

[HotKey pilot]
Joystick1+Key1=trigger1

Looks like some are default and some I've set (joystick commands).

Edit one of the confUser files and check what the [Hotkey Pilot] section looks like. Rename the others, suffix a number or whatever (confUserold1, ...), so you only have one confUser file.

All I can suggest at the moment, other than a re-install!

Good Luck!

I've run into an issue where some of my key bindings stopped working and once I reset the controls to default and re-assigned what I wanted I haven't had any issues since.

If you setup custom key bindings you may want to save your current config from the in game menu to somewhere safe (or you can always just copy the files manually from your documents folder), and then reset the controls to default and see if you can get your plane started then.

AUS,

Thanks,

I'll give it another try tonight.

Reinstall? Shudder

There would be no reason to reinstall. At worst you would just need to delete your 1C Softclub folder or do a steam verify.

I'll give that a try tonight.

Make sure to create proper backups! Unless there's nothing you need in there of course

Also see the thread "il2 Cliffs of Dover No Start" in the Performance Threads.

How do I do a Steam Verify?

Sorry,

No need to apologize, just right click on your game in the library view -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of Game Cache.

Also, it just occurred to me. Have you read the proper start procedure for your plane since enabling CEM? Make sure you turned on both magnetos and put your fuel cock to primary.
