Engine won't start after 0.3.0 update

smacman17

Hi. Tried to post a support ticket but somehow can't pass the captcha test. Since updating to 0.3.0 my engine won't start. I am following the start procedure exactly as stated in the manual. Also when I try and load a runway start with engines running, the engine shuts off immediately and I can't start it again.

@smacman17 Have you got any fuel in the tanks? ;)

smacman17

@Sender46 I think you are onto something. Gauges read 0 fuel, but adding fuel from menu system doesn't seem to actually add fuel.

The fuel menu works fine for me.

Strange. Works fine for other aircraft too but for some reason my Arrow just snaps back to 0 fuel. Is there a saved state file I can delete somewhere?

@smacman17 Make sure the battery's on when checking the fuel tanks. If it's dead you can recharge from EFB

Add fuel one tank at a time if zero fuel. Just took me 10 minutes to work out WHY my bitch wasn't starting. For some reason, it started with zero fuel. First time EVER that happened. :unamused_face:

I had the same. I think that's just the "state" that the update installs.

What's a "check list"? :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

LOL @Tigerclaw Those things that Just Flight went to the extra effort to provide us with ;)

smacman17

Haha.. Fuel is definitely the culprit. I just can't seem to get the thing to stay fueled. Keeps jumping back to empty after a few seconds.

@Sender46 Thanks Man, I'll take a look. Can't have JF thinking I don't appreciate all the effort they put in. I was discussing this update with a friend yesterday, and we BOTH came to the conclusion this is the BEST GA addon currently in MSFS.
