    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.

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

          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:

                @Tigerclaw said in Engine won't start after 0.3.0 update:

                .... 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.

                      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.
