ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
Starting the aircraft using Auto-start (Cnrtl-E by default) does not select a fuel tank. The engine will be started with the fuel selector lever in the “Off” position. This will not change once the engine starts. After a short while (~ 1 to a few minutes), depending upon throttle use, the engine will die due to fuel starvation.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- In free flight, select the CAC Boomerang (any livery). Spawn at any airport parking spot during daylihgt hours (for ease of visibility)
- Switch to cockpit view.
- Open the ESB and select the Mass & Balance Fuel Tab. Note the L & R tanks have 35 gallons, & the center tank 45 gallons. Leave the EFB open on this tab.
- Look at the fuel selector lever - notice it is in the “off” position.
- Start the engine using CTL-E or whatever you may have mapped the autostart binding to.
- Notice the fuel selector lever is still in the “off” position.
- Increase the throttle to increase fuel flow - for example to ~ 25-25%
- Wait for a minute or two. The engine will die. The amont of fuel shown in the EFB will still show 35 / 35 / 45 gallons.
Expected behaviour: Upon Auto-start, the fuel lever is set to the main (center) tank, as per the pre-flight “Before starting engines” cheklist item.
