Turbo - No Fuel Flow

Ratman

To be honest, no. I haven't come across a functional squelch feature in any other MSFS aircraft.

The only reason I asked is because I noticed the TEST button on the TKM MX-170B and read in the manual that it opens the receiver's automatic squelch. I was curious to know whether it was implemented or if I was simply using it incorrectly.

flew the TC tonight for the first time myself, and following the chklist had no issues starting

@Black-Square I have the same issue, when priming the fuel flow indicator does not move at all but I can see the fuel entering through the tablet engine page. Verified this on the TC version.

@Voxen Did you tap on the glass? I was having the same "issue", until I decided to tap on the glass. Then it worked for me. Must be an old gauge to stick so much lol.

Voxen

Yes I did tap on the glass multiple times

@Voxen Interesting. Did you have the throttle full open and mixture full rich?

Voxen

Yes, both. I flew the plane multiple times and I never seen the needle moving during priming.

@Voxen Send a video, if you could.

I can not upload video here but I can send the iCloud link to it:

@Voxen Thanks for taking the trouble to upload that. I know you said you tapped on the glass before, but unfortunately, not in the video. The variable that drives the actual fuel into the cylinders is literally duplicated in its last step to drive the gauge, so it's very difficult for me to believe that there could be an issue between that last step and the gauge itself.

I'm thinking this may be temperature related. As I noted earlier, I'd seen the fuel flow gauge begin to respond with longer priming times on the TC. However on my last few flights it has never moved. The difference is the last few flights have been from airports with extremely high (>30c) temps.

However, even with the hot temps, the engine still starts just as expected with no issues.

Ok here is another, I think I didnt miss anything this time

The EDM shows the fuel flow while priming. Even when the ff gauge doesn't.

I am having the same issue. No fuel flow indicated at priming and to get the needle moving on ground after startup I have to open the throttle around one quarter. Ambient Temperture is the heat in Europe and I hammered the glass like a crazy person.
