Cold start for career mode?

[[808_BOB]_RlCK]

Been a huge fan of the series since IL-2 1946 but I feel somewhat sad because there is no cold start for career missions in IL-2 BoX. I don't know if it's been said by the devs before or not, but, are there any plans to introduce that feature into career mode? Or at least have it like in IL-2 1946 where you had to start your engine on the runway? Cheers in advance for the answers.

No. Too many AI issues at the moment with that.

Hmmmm. I see. Well, that means it's just waiting for now. Thank you for answering.

Thing is: In most circumstances the engine would not be started on the runway (the exception being late in the war when the Luftwaffe was so ridiculously short on fuel, that they had to push planes out onto the runway) 

 

Often times, pilots wouldn’t even be involved in starting up the engine getting the temperature up. That was the job for the ground crew. The pilot would only get in the cockpit once the engine was running smoothly and the plane was ready for taxi. 

 

Arguably the most correct way to start a mission would be with engine running and heated in a parked position so you’d have to taxi to the runway. But as Luke said: Too many issues with AI and player taxiing together for that to be viable in career.

You might also want to check out PWCG. A very nice third party campaign generator for IL-2.

 

They are currently working on an experimental versions available for testing that includes cold start and taxi scenarios.

I already have and use PWCG and I like it, but I thought I'd play first the original campaign done by 777 for all BoS, BoM and BoK
