thanks =FoReIgNeR= but I have also tried that without success, I suppose that i doing wrong But i dont Know what,

This is how I perform the start-up, it has never failed:

 

1) all (essential) circuit breakers to on

2) RPM governor to manual, adjust prop pitch to 12:00 (OR to auto and don't bother with pitch)

3) radiator control to the 'auf' (open) position

4) fuel cock to P1+P2, throttle to idle

5) magnetos to M1+M2

6) use the fuel choke to set the needle to between the two notches on the fuel pressure indicator (12 pumps)

7) radio the ground crew to crank the engine

8) wait for the flywheel to spin up (15 seconds)

9) open the starter cover and pull the starter handle until the engine catches

 

10) Happy flying

If that fails, could you post a track of one of your start-up attempts so that we can debug the procedure? I'm not behind my pc right now, otherwise I would have sent you a track =)

Just to start the engine to see if it works you need just to:

 

1. push all breakers in (verify with the mouse the invisible parts if you don't have headtracking, middle mouse pushed and movement moves your head sides to sides)

2. put fuel pumps both on (1+2) (under throttle)

3. Put both magnetos on (1+2)

4. signal crew to wind up the inertial flywheel by pressing \ then F8 then F4.

5. press insert or push the red pump 11-12 times but press long then release, the pump needs to go up up up to work, don't push it fast like the hunny bunny!!!!! :D

6. after you hear the flywheel screaming pull the starter after removing its safety cover and keep it pulled until engine starts.
