engine start manually

[dirko13]

Is there a way to make the cars start manually?
Means when I leave the boxes for training/qualy or start a race the car/engine is already running. (Qr starts automatically)
I would like to use ,in my future buttonbox, the ignition and starter buttons.
In the controll menu I set ignition and start to keyboard "i" and "s" but pushing "i" just stops the allready runnig engine
and pushing again starts it. Pushing "s" doesn't do nothing.

Any help with this issue would be very appreciated

you might find something in the .PLR text file

I never understood why there is both an ignition and a starter command. got them mixed up all the time

thank you for your reply.

I checked my .PLR file but couldnt find something like that, at least I made both buttons working.
But of course it is some kind of useless when the engine is running already .

Well it's like in your real car you first switch on ignition and then activate the stater motor just turning the key. (Many modern real cars do have a start/stop button).

In a word No.

The Start and Ignition options are only there to get the vehicle going after the engine stalls.

Thank you for the clear reply.

A bit of a shame but it is what it is.
