Unable to start engines in cold and dark missions

[Tartopome37]

Hello.

I'm quite new to this game and I try to familiarise myself by making simple cold start missions.

I've tried the Blenheim IV and Beaufighter 1F and in both cases I'm totally unable to get engines running despite following the flashcards manual.

 

What I'm doing :

- All magnetos: ON

- Red and green fuel cock: Inner Tank ( check fuel quantity ok)

- 3rd fuel cock : OPEN

- Boost cut out : ON

- radiators : OPEN

- RPM: MAX

- Throttle : 10%

- Mixture : Normal or 100%

- select engine 1 or 2

- Start engine

In any case the engine start to rumble and cut immediately...

 

Does anyone know what I'm missing?

 

Thanks in advance

Just from memory: To me it seems that some planes are more picky than others about the throttle being EXACTLY at 10%. I assigned a key for "throttle to 10%", that solved a good part of my startup troubles.

Yes ! it was that !

 

Thank you so much 👍👍
