I have set a joystick button for the fuel cock,another for magneto but how do you start an engine and what key is used please ?
There are so many engine commands in the control section I get easily confused !

Here's a linky for the spitfire

Open Fuel cock - use the mapped key/button or click in the lever, right side of compass.

Leave throttle lever between 0 ~10%. In fact can be more, 0 to <30%, but more than 10% the plane will start shake.

Press the "magical" key "E". They forget to model the start button.

Await temps raise for above ~60, open water radiator and go.

Magnetos switches is just "what if", in CloD has no practical effect, if you switch then ON the "magical" key E move switch OFF and then ON, so useless set then... Well switch magnetos serves for make YT videos "Spifire Startup".

Although, if you turn off the mags while the engine is running, it will quit.

Same thing happens in 1946 if you shut off the mags.

This ability to stop engine is really util for Fiat G.50, this plane has no fuel cock modeled, so magnetos is the way to stop the engine - but as CloD "It's CloD!" - their magneto selector is bugged, the last position don't respond to mouse clicks, so is need use keys for magnetos.
