It's not your fault...or maybe it is,did you read pilot's notes?These are not QMB birds,they require engine warm up and run up .

I hope it is my fault
Meanwhile I uninstalled the Kittyhawks, but now I shall give them a try again, going to Scramble type QMB mission and following the pilot notes concerning the warm up.
Btw, I tried before to let the birds fly AI only , and they also did not mastered them. How it is in FMB missions?

Well, I gave them a try: installed again, created mission in FMB on Darwin map,
read the pilot notes, and still not be able to fly. Isn't anywhere somthing such as training mission?
And the observation: when I flied for Blue side, letting Kittyhawks to start by AI only, they don't know to fly these birds. So Kittys cannot serve as targets.

...do it like this,works for me every time....start engine,raise rpm to 900-950 and keep them there until oil pressure reaches 70lbs...once the pressure is above 70,very slowly raise rpm (be careful,pressure drops a little when you raise rpm) untill 1700rpm's are reached...keep them there untill oil temperature raises above 45-50 deg C...then raise rpm to 2100rpm untill coolant temperature is at least 70 deg C...when it get's above 70,you are clear for take off...again,don't just slam the throttle to 110%,increase it gradualy ...

Thank you very much, I shall try it to learn again.
EDIT: Hurray, I get her airborne on Okinawa airfield, strictly following your recommendations, went around and landed .

Well, is here anybody flying these Kittyhawks?
I should be very glad to read somebody other's experience with this challenge.
Concerns it also other planes?

I'm working on a Fw190D9 early model ...with same features...
