SOLVED- Pitts Special S2S Will Not Start

[Imperator]

I follow the exact procedures indicated in the checklist and on multiple videos on YouTube and the plane will not start. I'm beginning to think it is a bug with one of the recent updates. I am forced to use Ctrl + E to start the plane instead of using the actual start procedures...

I have substantial MSFS experience, so this is not just anybody saying there is something wrong. I confirmed with another person who was also not able to start the aircraft.

If I remember right you have to crack the throttle a bit before you start it.

Yeah to 25%. Tried that already. Also tried 50%.

Problem is it refuses to start with the mixture set to cut-off. The checklist makes sense but the logic in MSFS doesn't. Realistically the engine should start with the mixture set to cut-off (you gave it some fuel the boost pump). When the engine starts you advance the mixture forward otherwise you will starve it of fuel.

Looks like this was fixed in the .7 update, I'm now able to start it.

Great.

I still can't get it to start, no matter my Mixture setting the engine won't stay on.
