I am shutting down the plane with the fuel selectors in OFF blu position. When restarting in “Cold and Dark” the selectors are in ON red position. Hope to be helped

does your default aircraft have them on?

Yes. I have tried them directly and with SHIFT+2.

Very, Very sorry KrazyColin but i'm forced to correct my question which is " i am shutting down the plane with the fuel selectors in OFF red position. When restarting in “Cold and Dark” the selectors are in ON blu position.

What is your default saved flight?

The default flight is irrelevant. The cold and dark is not setting the fuel selectors. Likely hasn't been coded to.

I suppose that you are not waiting for my answer.

Your answer isn't needed

. Given how the cold and dark code works, it is on our side, no question.

it's not likely to be fixed at this point though... Sorry.

Surprised, shocked, disappointed but confident.

Um, yes it is scripted. When C&D is set as the default for first load, the following take place:

Code: Select all

    0 (&gt;K:FUEL_SELECTOR_SET)
    0 (>L:FuelSelectLeft, enum)
    0 (&gt;K:FUEL_SELECTOR_2_SET)
    0 (>L:FuelSelectRight, enum)
    (>K:ENGINE_AUTO_SHUTDOWN)

First the default sim selectors are set to OFF
Next the aircraft's two visual selectors are set to OFF

Need to double check if it is getting hit though.

Mikindian, are 1. you using the "load as Cold&Dark" feature of the AMS panel, or 2. saving and reloading your aircraft in a cold&dark state after manual shutdown?

I assume the code mentioned above is only run for 1.

For 2. the aircraft might need some code similar to the following, which I wrote for the C337 and added to a custom gauge script:

Code: Select all

    (L:ControlInit,bool) 1 != if{
        1 (>L:ControlInit,bool) <!-- only once -->

        <!-- set VC front fuel tank selector -->
        (A:FUEL TANK SELECTOR 1,enum)
        d 0 != if{ d 1 != if{ p -1 } }
        (>L:KNOB_FUEL_SELECTOR_F,number)

        <!-- set VC rear fuel tank selector -->
        (A:FUEL TANK SELECTOR 2,enum)
        d 0 != if{ d 1 != if{ p -1 } }
        (>L:KNOB_FUEL_SELECTOR_R,number)
    }

I haven't checked how the C310 behaves here.

Short notice: I can reproduce that problem by creating a Cold&Dark save file and loading it in the sim if Cold&Dark is disabled in the AMS.
