Turbo - No Fuel Flow
-
@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 Interesting. Did you have the throttle full open and mixture full rich?
-
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:

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.
