Fuel selector stuck - Baron 58
-
Currently the left fuel tank is stuck in the off position. A known issue?
-
High probability of a control binding issue. My install would stick the fuel selectors if I moved the tank switch on my controller and you couldn't override it with the mouse after it got stuck. I used FSUIPC to change the assignments for the Blacksquare Baron. I can share what I input when I get back to my computer if that would help. What hardware are you using and is it programmed with FSUIPC?

Thanks, but I have no binding for the fuel tank selector.
Just lost audio in the sim also, but that was universal to all planes.
So maybe the fuel tank selector issue also was a generic MSFS bug, it worked after next reload...

Hi, @GunStrauss , I finally could manage the Analog Baron two fuel selectors playing with these commands:
Send FUEL_SELECTOR_OFF-Event
Send FUEL_SELECTOR_2_OFF-Event
Send FUEL_SELECTOR_SET-Event(19)
Send FUEL_SELECTOR_SET-Event(20)
Send FUEL_SELECTOR_2_SET-Event(19)
Send FUEL_SELECTOR_2_SET-Event(20)For conditions I use:
FUEL TANK SELECTOR:1 = 0 / 19 / 20
FUEL TANK SELECTOR:1 = 0 / 19 / 20With the proper combination of these elements you can control the position of the two selectors: OFF / ON / CROSS FEED. Please be aware that OFF or 0 (zero) are absolute values, but 19 / 20 depend of which selector are you managing, the Left or the Right one.
I have combined a dial and a gauge-button in my Loupedeck Live to control and show the state of both selectors. If you want I gladly share the code with you, I think it could be useful for Streamdeck a Loupedeck users.
Best regards,

Sorry, I have found a mistake but I am no allowed to edit the post anymore, so I point to it here. Where I said:
"FUEL TANK SELECTOR:1 = 0 / 19 / 20
FUEL TANK SELECTOR:1 = 0 / 19 / 20"Obviously I wanted to say:
"FUEL TANK SELECTOR:1 = 0 / 19 / 20
FUEL TANK SELECTOR:2 = 0 / 19 / 20"Sorry again and best wishes

Thanks Felix for nice suggestion on how to map the selectors. Currently I don't use any hardware mapping for the fuel selectors, but maybe I will in the future, so this will come in handy.
I think the issue I first described could have been some generic MSFS bug...

@GunStrauss you may be loading the aircraft after flying with another aircraft that left something switched on or off that is causing this behavior. Have you started in safe mode, loaded a simple MSFS single or twin, then restarted selecting first a simple MSFS single or twin, then switched over to the BlackSquare Baron?
