• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSX Fuel transfer switch - what am I doing wrong?

I have a modeled switch in my virtual cockpit for transferring fuel forwards, the switch works well except, it will not 'turn off fuel transfer when the switch is off. I'm trying to avoid a race condition with a previous version of the xml logic and I've tried, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong, although I clearly have something wrong.

The logic below is that if the switch is 1, and fuel transfer mode is 0 (auto) then transfer fuel forwards. Else don't. What am I doing wrong?!

<Element>
<Select>
<Value>
(L:forwardtransfer_switch,bool) 1 == ;
(A:FUEL SELECTED TRANSFER MODE,enum) 0 == ;
&amp;&amp;

if{ (>K:SET_FUEL_TRANSFER_FORWARD) }
els{ 0 (K:SET_FUEL_TRANSFER_OFF) }

</Value>
</Select>
</Element>
 
Try this one. Not tested!

Code: 
<Element>
<Select>
<Value>
(L:forwardtransfer_switch,bool) 1 ==
(A:FUEL SELECTED TRANSFER MODE,enum) 0 ==
&amp;&amp;
if{ (>K:SET_FUEL_TRANSFER_FORWARD) }

(L:forwardtransfer_switch,bool) 0 ==
(A:FUEL SELECTED TRANSFER MODE,enum) 1 ==
&amp;&amp;
if{  (>K:SET_FUEL_TRANSFER_OFF)  }
</Value>
</Select>
</Element>

0 (K:SET_FUEL_TRANSFER_OFF) you forgot the ">"
 
Your Heading should be MSFS, not FSX.
For Fuel Selected Transfer mode, enum, the value of 0 is off. 1 is auto, 2 is forward.

Hi Roy,

Technically, it ought to be P3D but I thought it'd get more responses being FSX.

In the FSX SDK, -1 is off 0=auto, 1=forward etc

2 is indeed forward...... I knew I shouldn't have trusted the SDK :D

I've managed to sort this now using a controller type of gauge to shut if off without any race conditions.
