Failures guide
-
Hi,
Once I chose state save, I have a low oil pressure on engine 2 which prevents me from starting the engine (-4000 variant) and bay overheat warning light ( on the ground) that I can’t get fixed.
How can I learn about failure handling of the F28?
How can I reset state for faulty plane, is there a service option somewhere that I missed (excellent manual doesn’t elaborate about failures).
TIA

The F28 currently doesn't support failures (they are something we are looking to add in a future update) so the warning lights you are seeing, and the issues with engine starting, are likely caused by another factor.
Firstly, to rule out a possible issue with "State Saving", could you disable this option on the EFB and then restart the flight. In the new flight, the aircraft should load in a cold and dark state, with all systems correctly initialised, and you should then be able to work through the checklists to start the engines. If the engines start with state saving disabled, then we can take a further look into this to see if there is something we can fix with the state saving logic.
If the engines do not start with state saving disabled, then this may be a controller conflict. Do you perhaps have any control assignments that could be triggering a fuel pump or fuel valve that is preventing fuel from being introduced to the engine?
A quick way of testing this will be to unplug any external hardware (yokes, throttle quadrants, etc), then try an engine start with everything unplugged. If both engines start correctly with everything unplugged, then a control assignment conflict is likely the cause.
If it is a control assignment conflict, you can go to MSFS Options > Controls Options, and click on the tab with the name of one piece of external hardware you have plugged in. Then, in the "SEARCH BY NAME" field, searching for "FUEL" should show you all the MSFS control assignments related to the fuel system and also show you which you have axis/buttons/switches assigned to on your external hardware. The control assignments that are causing a conflict can then be deleted here, or a new controller preset can be created using the "OPEN PRESET MANAGER" button at the bottom of the page.
Hope that helps.

@Mark Hi,
Turned off state saving, I found no key binding, on 3rd try the plane turn on normally and it was a pleasure to fly (Berlin to Copenhagen landing RWY 30 in full ILS).State saving acts strange , I turned off the plane all knobs and switches turned off but when starting half of them were on.
Will try to see if I can outline precisely the problem for you to investigate.
Thank you for the reply. You are a wonderful team I love you r products.
