V1.2. update and fuel tank selectors

Bert Pieke

There was some discussion about giving the engine a grace period when both tank selectors were mistakenly turned to OFF in flight.. Has this been implemented in this update?

The lack of response leads me to suspect that the answer is "no".. too bad. In the real airplane, you can correct your mistake if you act quickly (or so I have been told..)

@Black-Square Hi Nick, I have tried a workaround, as follows... The Tank selectors turn back on, but the starter does not engage.. can you help?

(A:TURB ENG TANK SELECTOR:1, Enum) 0 == (A:SIM ON GROUND, bool) ! and if{ 1 (>K:FUEL_SELECTOR_SET) 1 (>B:ENGINE_Starter_Ignition_1_Set) }

Clever solution for some convenience. Try this:

(A:TURB ENG TANK SELECTOR:1, Enum) 0 == (A:SIM ON GROUND, bool) ! and if{
    1 (>K:FUEL_SELECTOR_SET)
    (A:TURB ENG IGNITION SWITCH:1, bool) ! if{
        (&gt;K:TURBINE_IGNITION_SWITCH_TOGGLE)
    }
}

@Black-Square said in V1.2. update and fuel tank selectors:

(A:TURB ENG TANK SELECTOR:1, Enum) 0 == (A:SIM ON GROUND, bool) ! and if{
1 (>K:FUEL_SELECTOR_SET)
(A:TURB ENG IGNITION SWITCH:1, bool) ! if{
(>K:TURBINE_IGNITION_SWITCH_TOGGLE)
}
}

Thanks for the reply... but no, the starter still does not engage.

I can flip the starter switch with the mouse, and that gets the engine going again.. After a couple of tests, I have found that this step is actually quite straight forward, and the engine responds quickly enough that I can avoid big trouble
