• 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.

Hi all. Working on getting my starters working for my S2T project. I found a code on here digging through other threads that seams to work but not all the way.

Went I click the start button the engine spins up but never fires off, the starter just keeps running. Any hint on where the error is in my code?

Code: 
<Animation name="s2t_switch_eng_1_start_button" guid="1e578422-73aa-4ef7-9daf-d845eb2db288" length="1" type="Sim" typeParam2="s2t_switch_eng_1_start_button" typeParam="AutoPlay" />
    <PartInfo>
        <Name>s2t_switch_eng_1_start_button</Name>
        <AnimLength>1</AnimLength>
        <Animation>

                    and               
                    if{ (>K:TOGGLE_STARTER1) }       
                    <!-- COMBUSTION -->

If the starter engages and the engine does not... it has no fuel. A fuel cutoff, a fuel selector... something with regards to fuel being available to the engine is not there.

Click to expand...

That was it. My fuel selectors were animated but not functioning correctly. Fix now thank you.
