Thank you very much! Glad it can help you. If I didn't fly an airplane for a while, I use my own videos to familiarize myself again. Thanks for the comment!

Bill1949 WT Thank you very much for your comment! I'm glad you liked it.

Thank you for the nice comment. Glad you liked it. The A2A airplane simulations are among the best & most realistic. Thanks

I follow the procedures as close as I can. The procedures come with the installation. The manual has 100 pages.

Hagux Virpilot Thank you for your support!

Thank you! Glad it helped you. Gunther

+Richard O'Malley Thank you for the second comment too :-) Thanks for posting and the support!

Career Knight Thanks for your comment and support! This airplane simulation is absolutely worth your time :-)

Alex's Flying Club Thank you for your kind remarks! I appreciate it!

Thank you! Less math to deal with. :)

A little math test :-) 1 kt = 1.1507 mph Comparing 1.1507 mph with 1 mph. Indeed, your statement is correct.

+SERGIO GARCIA Thank you for letting me know and thanks for commenting!

+Romulo M Lesson is a too big word ;-) I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you very much! I love this plane very much.

Thank you for the comment! I'm glad if it can help. Thanks

pana71197 Hi pana71197, I always fly the Spitfire Mk II. Most data is the same for the Mk I. I knew the answer, but double checked it to be sure: In summary: Always check the radiator and oil temperature gauges. Change the radiator shutter lever to maintain normal temperatures. Max temperatures: radiator 120°C, oil 90°C On the ground: Keep the radiator shutter lever full open! Keep your RPM as low as possible. (800-1000 RPM) Once the engine is started, you only have 5 to 10 minutes to takeoff. Otherwise the engine will become too hot. You cannot do anything to prevent this. If the temperature is too hot, shutdown the engine immediately! Wait for it to cool down or reset the simulation. This is one of the reasons why the canopy must be open on the ground until after takeoff to be able to jump out if all goes wrong. Climbing: Keep the radiator shutter lever full open. (at very low exterior temperatures, you can close it a bit) Mixture at auto-rich. At takeoff, throttle at max +7 boost. As soon as possible set throttle to max +4 boost and 2400 RPM If the temperature becomes too high, level off and reduce the throttle to cruise speed until the engine cools off. At cruising speed: Set the radiator shutter lever at the red triangle (=normal flight) (minimum drag position, most efficient aerodynamic/cooling setting) or as required to maintain normal temperatures. Set mixture to auto-lean (weak). Advised to 1800 RPM. At slow flight: If with the radiator shutter fully open the temperatures are too high, lower the nose and increase airspeed to force cooling air into the radiator. After landing: Keep the radiator shutter lever full open!

Gunther Willems wow great answer... thankyou... p.s. i had a look at your cahnnel... good videos mate ;-)

pana71197 Thank you !!!

Thank you! You can check with my video if you see the same effect. But I don't think I saw that. Be sure to install the latest update: a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=57819

You always have to follow the procedures in the airplane manual. For this engine, the documentation from A2A has: Throttle set to just above rough running Move both fuel cocks down to OFF Allow to run for approximately 1 min Immediately rough running begins SWITCH OFF AND PULL S.R.C-O (=slow running cut-out) ...

Not directly. Are it the A2A versions? Did you try the full automatic startup?

+Daniel Sarmiento Yes, for safety, the canopy must be opened in the circuit before landing. This is the text from the manual: "at all times when on the ground, the canopy is to be opened and locked and is to be opened and locked when in the circuit before landing for the same reason". It would have been better if I had opened it before landing. Thanks for the remark!

Hagux Virpilot Hi Hagux, The Spitfire, P-51 and P-40 work fine in P3D. I have them installed. I have read that the others also work in P3D. You probably need 'Estonia Migration tool' or copy an FSX.exe into the P3D program folder. I use the Migration tool. ( www.flightsim.ee/products/migration-tool ) First install the airplane, then Accu-Sim for the airplane. At the end install the latest Accu-Sim Core Update. Goto www.a2asimulations.com/product_updates.html Microsoft Flight Simulator X / A2A Accu-sim Aircraft In the description you will see they also update it for P3D. It will find all your A2A airplanes and update them. If Accu-sim doesn't work after this, you need to install simconnect (included in the P3D program folders) I only use P3D. All the airplanes I fly work as expected in this simulator.

Ok. I will try. Thanks. And happy new year.

Gunther Willems Ok. I will try. Thanks. And happy new year.

It is the A2A Spitfire Mk IIa P7308 (Mark II)

Thanks! Now I can fly one of these beauties for once on FSX.

This could be a cause: A warning horn is provided and will sound if the undercarriage is up when throttled back. The warning horn may be silenced by pushing the warning horn button. When the throttle is advanced to around its one-quarter position, the warning horn will be enabled again and will sound if the throttle is pulled back when the undercarriage is up. Otherwise, did you follow how I started it up in the video? Did you check the Maintenance hangar (shift+7) if all is OK?

I don't know where the horn button is but yup, I've done everything include the compression check. So there must be something I forgot to do, I'll check it next time I fly with her!

You have to check your oil level before every flight (shift+4). When you change the oil, you could also change the oil filter. You can see the status of the filters and other components in the maintenance hangar (shift+7). I have read that the Spitfire has an oil change interval of around 25 hours or if it isn't used for a long time. In some A2A Accu-sim airplanes you can see the color of the oil change over time (pre-flight inspection window) if it isn't changed or if the airplane isn't used for a long time. How real does it get :-)

Gunther Willems Thanks for the tips ;)

+Richard O'Malley Thank you very much!
