gavagai Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) I'm having a hard time starting the engine since 1.2.5. I didn't read about anything in the change log for the P-51. I used to have close to a 100% success rate in 1.2.4. Any ideas? I'm doing everything as I did it before and, err, it's not working.:doh: ------------ Or maybe it's just Merlin's server that has some interesting atmospheric settings. Cold start works fine with the quick mission.

dooom Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Try zero throttle. I had a similar thread a week or so ago. I now start it no problem by not touching the throttle 1 ASUS Tuf Gaming Pro x570 / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @ 3.8 / XFX Radeon 6900 XT / 64 GB DDR4 3200 "This was not in the Manual I did not read", cried the Noob" - BMBM, WWIIOL
Echo38 Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 About half an inch of throttle ... just started her up yesterday, three times. Ran on the first try, each time, which is unusual for me. After reading some suggestions here about the inch-cracked method not working, I'd decided to give it a go with half an inch instead of one inch or idle. So far, so good; I don't even need to jiggle the mixture lever anymore with this method. give it a shot.
gavagai Posted August 8, 2013 Author Posted August 8, 2013 Just tried no-throttle as dooom recommends and it started the first time. Hmph! Is it an atmospheric setting that makes the difference?
