Hi and welcome to the forums,

The latest update made it more accurate to the manual. Make sure you don't prime it more than 3-4 sec top, otherwise you may flood the engine.
Check the maintenance hangar - "Shift+7" for any other troubles. Hope this is helpful. :wink:

Without the olfactory senses it is often difficult to determine whether a engine is starved for fuel or flooded. Smaller engines are more difficult because the amount of fuel involved is small. I often pull a plug if I am at a loss. Not very practical with a cowled 1750 CI engine. :D Here is a question for the A2A developers. If you flood the A2A Mustang do you use the normal procedures for clearing the engine ? I am lazy if I can't get it started after reasonable attempt I use the auto start feature. :mrgreen:

thanks for the answers.
But I find that even using the car start the plane does not respond properly. In the sense that tends to have an effect layer of rotation and many visual vibrations.

I do not understand if it is a software installation problem

More precisely, even if the starter active throughout the plane tends to want to rotate with the propeller.
In flight then swerves to the left.
Surely I have a software problem

That is normal as engine torgue etc. will tend to pull the aircraft to the left and must be countered with yaw and roll control inputs. I suggest you read the manuals that came with the software as most of your questions are answered there. You may want to do some flying with a more docile airplane and polish your basic skills.

I read the manual.
In the past i fly with P51d accusim from my friend and it was easier.
Probably updates have made it more faithful and therefore more difficult to.
Tonight I had a long flight with manual ignition. I'm gaining confidence.

thanks to everyone for the tips.

Remember when flying the Mustang simulation from us that in real life pilots have a whole heap of experience before getting anywhere near the Mustang cockpit, so for a simmer theirs going to be that initial learning curve that real pilots don't have to go through. Stick at it though the basic stick and rudder all applies and it'll soon come easily to you.

thanks,
