Engine wont auto start online

[drack]

Hi

 

I cant get the engine to start on the free P51 in multiplayer?

 

Ive tried resetting a few switches and hitting the starter but no joy.

 

Ive tried adjusting the fuel level before auto start but no joy.

 

It Auto starts ok offline but just wont kick to life online.

The engine just splutters but wont fire up?

 

Anyone have/had this problem?

 

Thanks.

Maybe the server admin set cheats to off.

Do not forget the engine priming time depends on the atmospheric conditions, and the auto-start sequence does not compensate for it.

 

E.g. on the virtual aerobatics server mission, you need to prime a bit longer than what the auto-start does.

 

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the suggestions folks.

 

Ive tried another server and I'm still getting the same thing.

 

Its the virtual aerobatics server I fly it on most. I'll try giving the primer a good pump later today. will let you know.

 

Thanks.

Startup Tutorial:

Leave the throttle closed. I was having fits with engine starts in multiplayer until I received that tip. Of course, the standard procedure is 1" throttle open, but you'll get better results online if you don't move it at all until you're ready for engine warmup.

Check post #5 in this thread also, states the script is setting ignition off before starting and if you do it manually it should work.

Thanks folks.

 

With your help I managed to get her to splutter to life.

 

I primed it a bit and moved the mixture lever up and down between ICO and run while cranking the starter.

 

It was nice to hear her come to life.

 

Many thanks again.
