      Worth checking with AH direct? The problem you outline sounds fairly major so is likely to be reported if it's a bug.

        I am awaiting their reply. Just thought I would find out if anyone else had experienced this. I suspect it has something to do with the exhaust flames.

            @Dave Sorry you have problems too, but also glad that it's not just me.
            I have contacted AH but no response yet.
            My usual problem with AH single pistons is that the starter does not engage long enough for the engine to fire. Now it fires far too quickly!

              I popped a message up over at SimOuthouse to see if anyone there had the same issue.
              Got a response back from Bazzar (AH head honcho) as follows:

              It's an old (FSX) bug. You need to "clear the mixture" using Cntrl/Shift/F4. Previous flights and restarts of the simulator will reset the mixture to full. The auto-mixture setup in the Hurricane does not use this.

              However, I've tried the suggestion but it made no difference to me.

                Doesn't work for me either. I also tried Ctrl/Shift/F1, which seemed more logical to me, but that didn't work.

                  Got it!
                  Well, this works for me.
                  Delete and reinstall.
                  After loading - Ctrl/Shift/F4
                  Do NOT touch the Starter Mag Switch (forget that it exists).
                  Start as normal - less the Starter Mag.

                    Genius, well done that man.
                    I didn't do a delete and re-install, but the Ctrl/Shift/F4 and ignore the starter mag does the trick.

                      I've just installed the Hurricane, and trying to start manually it ends up with red screen as you described.
                      I did try Ctrl.Shift/F4 first as suggested but no good.

                      So far can only start using Ctrl + E.
