How To Engine Start Up
Hey guys i made this topic with the intention of posting videos of how to start the engines of all planes using the complex engine management, it will be updated with videos as they come along, Feel free to add your own videos and comments. The main post will be updated
Spitfire I TigerMoth Hurricane Blenheim IV BF109 E3 - Video by Targ JU 87 (Stuka) JU88 G.50 BR.20 HE 111 Carb Heat: Carb heat is used to prevent build up of ice on the carburetor, this can stall the engines. You will need to monitor the temps of the carbs in flight and may have to turn on carb heat when flying at high altitudes. I would recommend using carb heat where available on landings and takes off as the pressure difference may cause a build up of ice. Not all planes have the need for carb heat, the superchargers on most fighters heat the incoming air enough for no need for carb heat. Last edited by Jimbosmith; 04-17-2011 at 12:21 AM.

i just can repeart myself from another topic: "in general use LEAN mixture and IDLE throttle in all planes. Than , in the most you have to activate the fuel first, yes. Excetions so far are :Bf110, G.50 and Br.20 IIRC. the easiest wuld be to map a key on that function not to have to search the cockpit with your mouse.... in the Spits, Hurris, FIATs and Blenheim to wait till the engine gets some temperature before giving more throttle and mixture is very important, otherwise your engine i quits.. and now something special: the Br20 and Blenheim you have to activate carburetor preheating too , OH YES map it too a key is my best advice you dant have to activate the magnetos manually, the "start button" (on whatever key you have it, i strg+I ) is activating them i have only ONE big proplem: in the Ju88, He111s and Bleheim i am only able to start the left engine !! right engine dont start. Any ideas ??"

Only problem I can think about is not doing the selection thing right. Personally, I do it like this (and it works on all planes) - Select both engines and set everything as it should except for mixture and throttle, both to idle. - unselect all engines - select one engine, set mix and throttle on that one engine, start. - unselect all engines - select the other engine, repeat procedure as before - unselect all engines - select all engines This procedure has worked on all planes so far. Settings may change between different models but the select/unselect procedure is the same.

Thx, the proplem was solved already
 I forgott to map the fuel "opening" for the right engine.... I was lost in the german translation of the keycommands, it is horrible! And i try to avoid this mouseklicking in the cockpits.

I have some checklists derived from the actual Pilot's Notes and Handbuchs posted in this thread. Take a look and let me know what you think. They are in MS Excel format. Since I don't have the game yet (dang US release) I don't know if the start procedures carry over from real life to the sim. If someone could try them out, I would be most appreciative.
