We get our mission orders. I'm sitting on the airfield and hit the 'E' key to start my engine, and the engine blows and flashes a yellowish color for about 3 seconds like it's on fire. It won't restart.
Have any of you ever experienced this? It's a first for me.

Could be. But I suggest switch Off engine. Set mixture to füll euch, throttle to 10 percent. Restart the engine.

Welcome to the world of WWI. Random engine failures are in and sometimes more deadly - all helps to give you a slight nervous twitch WOFF fliers sometimes have ...

Me too. It's better than having it happen across the lines and trying to make it to safe ground. I just never thought it would happen at takeoff.
