Classic British Flight Sim

Sounds like my old Fiat 500 on steroids.

Love the sound of the inertia flywheel spinning up.

Primimg lever looks like it's about to come off!!

Antonov An-2.

I think the lever may be the seat height adjuster. Lovely film, and the sound of a radial is splendid

Er, no, it is the primer.

The An-2 is cranked by an inertial starter-a big flywheel spun into life by a teacup-size electric motor. You can engage it in a variety of ways, some of which require more hands than I have. There's a certain amount of careful priming to do first, after wobble-pumping with a stalky lever below the captain's chair, but then you either manually engage the rapidly spinning flywheel to crank the engine by pulling a tee handle with one hand and feeding it spark and fuel with your other two, or you push a button for "electronic start," turn on the mags after a few blades have passed the windscreen and stand by the throttle.

I agree. The great sound has been faithfully reproduced for FS9.

Here's a small video I made.

Turn up the sound.
