• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Moth Minor question

I've just downloaded the Moth Minor from Classic British Files, but although the engine turns over it refuses to start. I've tried starting up on a different aircraft and then changing to the Moth Minor, but as soon as I do the engine dies. Where am I going wrong?

Just crack the throttle open a little before starting for realism. If you are not happy with that, increase the min throttle setting in the aircraft.cfg file. :wave:
 
Thanks - I tried that, and fiddled around with the mixture, too, in case that was it, but still no luck.

Check this line under piston engine and increase by small amounts until it starts.
