OldHat, it appears WOFF UE is missing the master battery/generator on/off switch. It's suppose to be CTL+B but on the key list in the Workshop it shows it's bound to the brakes, which we don't have a need for at all. Back when we had the aforementioned function you would set your throttle and mixture about midway for both, hit CTL+B to turn on the batteries, hit CTL+M twice to turn on the magnetos, and then hold CTL+S to spin the prop until the engine coughed to life as you fiddled with the mixture and throttle levers. Looks like someone should inform the devs of this oversight as it is currently impossible to manually start the engines in WOFF UE. I did notice that if you hit auto start then immediately shut it back off this will bring the batteries to life and once they are on it all works as it did before.

You can edit the .xca file and change the Action Brakes to TOGGLE_MASTER_BATTERY and it still works.
It does take some finagling to get the engine to kick in, holding CTRL_S is important.
(I also changed the line to "EngineControl" also - not sure if that is necessary.)
