autostart not moving prop- and booster-levers forward.

I month and 10 days later, it's still the same.

As long as I remember to move the levers forward before I take off,

otherwise I'm running down the runway wondering why I can't gain speed. :D

tried to download the track file: "The hosting period for this file has now expired, only premium users can download it."

However, I don't need the track. The file "Macro_sequencies.lua" under "...\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\P-47D-30\Cockpit\Scripts" defines the start-up sequence. For the propeller RPM it has this line of code:

push_start_command(1.0, {device = devices.ENGINE_CONTROLS, action = device_commands.Button_6, value = 0.0, message = _("Prop RPM lever full forward"), message_timeout = std_message_timeout})

The message says "Prop lever full forward" but the command value is 0.0 which is OFF. For the lever to go full forward, the value should be 1.0.

I don't know what the intent of the developer was, but either the message or the command value should be changed. For the boost lever, the message is consistent with the command value:

push_start_command(2.0, {device = devices.ENGINE_CONTROLS, action = device_commands.Button_9, value = 0.0, message = _("Boost lever to 'Off'"), message_timeout = std_message_timeout})

In my irrelevant opinion, the "OFF" for both axes makes sense. The auto-start should start the plane up so can can go into action. Like a friendly ground crew taking load off the pilot. Managing the engine afterwards should be the pilot's job. So I would just change the message to "Prop RPM lever to OFF".
