Moving the 262 gunsight and odd(?) startup behaviour.

[56RAF_Roblex]

I am just wondering if I have a bug and need to reload the game or if there is a simple solution...

 

I watched Requiems video on how to fly the 262 and noticed two differences from what he does:-

 

1.  When he started his engines he only pressed 'E' once and as soon as engine 1 was going engine 2 started spooling up.  With me,  once engine 1 is going it just sits there until I switch to engine 2 myself and press 'E' again.  I asked Requiem and he confirmed he just presses 'E' once.     Does anyone else have to start each engine from scratch separately?

2.  I cannot move the gunsight to one side to allow me to see the RPM for engine 1 easily.   I checked my key setting and it shows 'R-Alt F' should stow the gunsight and nothing conflicts with it but it does nothing.  I even re-entered the key mapping to be sure.   Am I doing something dumb?

Re the gunsight, apparently only the standard sight is movable. Were you using the gyro sight?

I was about to post 'Forget my question.  I have just gone back into the game and now the gunsight stows OK and even when not stowed it is not in the way of anything."   I was baffled about why it changed but your reply explains everything ?   Thanks.

I just press E once to start both engines.
Do you have both engines selected at the start? I do by default but perhaps your game behaves differently...
