Lovely little plane but I cannot start it when I begin a mission on the ground?

Obviously there is more to it than pressing E?

Regards

Scott

I think there is a bug in the controls. When you sit in the cockpit before starting the mixture lever is on 'full rich' but the engine won't start. When you press the mixture control key once the mixture is reset to 'full lean' and the engine won't start either. You now have to press the mixture control key until the lever reaches 'full rich'. Then the engine will start.

Gremlin, I find that when you spawn in the plane you need to move your joystick to awaken the controls. Its then that the actual plane controls will start to mirror you hardware controler settings.

O.K., I do awake them with setting the mixture controls. Maybe I should first move the stick. Thanks, Squid.

Cheers
