That's not the problem - which I now understand, I think. Open the property browser, and watch the operation of the starter with the space bar. When the space bar is depressed, the starter = true, then changes to false WHILE THE SPACE BAR IS STILL DEPRESSED. I.e it is not a mod-up situation, but a keyboard repeat problem, as indicated by Melchior. It _should_ be a mod-up. If you use the starter button, then you will see the starter run until the button is released. Actually this is incorrect, and I've changed it locally to limit the run to 3 secs, but this modification is yet to be submitted to cvs. When did it start? I think used to be OK. I don't think this is fixable in the spitfire-set file. This must be a common problem for all models.
