Manfred John C47 V2 engine start problem

[TheAviator]

Just downloaded this earlier in the week - great plane. But I am having a problem. I am not able to start the engines manually. If I do CTRL-E they will start. But when I do it manually, going through every step of the checklist, everything seems to work, including the props turn when I hit the start button,but the engines do not fire and do no start. I saw there was discussion much earlier in this thread about the engines not starting, but it was not the same problem then as the engines wouldn't start with CTRL-E or manually.I am wondering if my problem is an issue with electric current. When I turn on the fuel pumps, the fuel pressure gauges rise. So fuel is not the problem. But I do not see any movement in the amp meters, even though the fuel pumps are running and obviously getting electric power. Any suggestions?

Usely it's the mixturesetting, depending on altitude. If you open the controle panel (shift 3) and hover with the mouse over start, it gives you some info about what is wrong. By the way, are you aware tha there is a version 3 of this plane?

Thanks, finally got it started by reading the manual, which I didn't know was in the folder. Seems you have to go through the sequence as described - mixture cutoff and magnetos off, engage starter and turn over 9-10 times / then set mixture 50%, magnetos on / continue to engage starter and prime until engine starts / bring increase mixture to fully rich...then do the next engine.

I checked my installation file and I do have the version 3. Looks like I am set to fly for awhile now!
