Hi Thanks to Tom And Joe for the answers. I just knew I should have re
phrased the question, I had sorta figured out the throttle, yoke, flight bit
but as fsx insisted on sticking me on "active runway" with the engine running
and me thinking "this does not
happen in real life does it"? I thought I would find out the correct way of
doing it. Following on from your advice I can now start from "cold and dark"
by switching switches and pressing buttons in the VC. Starting the Spitfire
following the procedure in the flight manual provided in this excellent
package from Flight 1 adds a whole new dimension. Thanks again.
