• 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.

Jet Engine start

Hello Everyone,

First post, but I have to say the forum has been of great use to me already.

I want to have full control of the engine start sequence for jet engines.
I'm however stuck with simconnect interface. I just can't figure out which key events to use and in which order??
I tried MAGNETOx_SET, MAGNETOx_START, TOGGLE_STARTERx. I have of course used TOGGLE_MASTER_IGNITION_SWITCH to toggle it ON, and also MIXTUREx_SET set at 16383.

I have managed using TOGGLE_STARTERx to start engine 2, using GENERAL ENG STARTER:x to know when to toggle ON/OFF the starter. But engine 1 seems to be un-startable (with the exact same sequence as N°2....).

Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Jean Luc
 
Ok disregard, I managed to make it work.
My problem was the fuel tank selector, apparently the FUEL_SELECTOR_SET event did not want to work properly, and I switched FUEL_SELECTOR_ALL which solved my case... 4 hours wasted but it works...

Thank you anyway ...
Jean Luc
