Apparently, I'm really too stupid to start the engines on the ME262. Where can I find a detailed explanation? It's really strange to release a new aircraft without instructions.

The ME 262 had an issue with the engines not starting. We have fixed this in the beta version of Aerofly FS 4 on Steam and in the Apple Beta program. Once we have enough feedback, we will officially publish it.

OK, I forgot to mention that I use the simulator on Android.

Ok, then someone who managed to start the new Messer will write about it. I haven't been able to do it with the iOS beta 1.05.09.01 so far.

The starter handles on the right can only be pushed, there is no klickspot to pull them…..

The Corsair and the Extra engine starts are ok, but I can't start the Me-262. Ipad9, public beta version.

The pumps are on. This simulator is always worse. After every update, something else stops working properly. Renewing the subscription again under these circumstances is questionable ☹️

The errors are certainly annoying. But if I see it correctly, the errors happen in the beta - and that's exactly what the beta is for, to find errors in time and to give them to the developers in a timely manner with all relevant information.

Small Planes Thank you for the report. Can you tell us the steps to reproduce it on our side? It should actually work fine in the beta version 1.5.9. Please confirm, you are using that version.
SilentObserver The Android version hasn't yet been updated.

I want to clarify that these startup issues also exist in the regular Android version. It's not just a Exclusive beta issue.It happens in cold and dark conditions and before the engine starts. It worked before an update. I constantly switch planes, so I notice things like this right away.

I found this guide on the Internet:
The start is described on the 14ff.

I'll pass on the link to the 262 documents.

I tested the Me262 on my Mac with the STEAM beta and on the iPad with the TestFlight version. From the iPad I get the two starter handles on the right only pressed and not pulled - and to start they have to be pulled.
=> I suspect it's because of that.

With version 1.05.09.02 (20251006) the push-fush function and the engine start now also work.

Yes, I confirm, I can now start the 262 too.
Edit: These two-stroke starter motors have a nice sound in the nose cones.

Are you old enough to remember the 1950/60s West German Bubble cars? The entire bubble car front opened to let the buyer in🥴
Similar tiny WW2 2 stroke ex starter engines powered the scooters like the Vespa and bubble cars like the Isettas and Messerschmitts!
