F4 Corsair engine spins up then stops. What settings are needed?

[dilbert]

While observing the magneto switch in the cockpit, press "}" until it moves all the way left for "both". Crack the throttle about 1/4 open, Press "s".

Ok, i'll check that out, tks

No joy. It spins up to 1500rpm and manifold pressure of 40 then cuts out when I cut off the starter.
Is there a fuel cock to open or other engine electrics?

Yea, it quit on me too. There is a fuel selector on the lower left console. Turn it clockwise with the mouse to 9 o'clock; and I think the engine will keep running.

However, if all else fails you can go to the far right of the overhead menu -"F4U" and use the "magically start engine" feature, and it will start and keep running.

P. S. Make sure you unfold the wings, if you want to fly.
