Baron engines quit when I turned on high fuel pump l & r

Postby Wizkid2552 » Sun Oct 28, 2018 12:22 am

Engines quit and had to do dead stick landing at JFK, tried airborne restart of both, they started and then quit again. Once on ground, I turned the fuel pump switches back to center off, and was able to restart the engines. Also Fuel Flow gauge does not work at all, both needles were full left the whole time at all power settings. Plane seems to fly and land fine, although the brakes seem a bit weak, it takes forever to stop and in the real plane you can land at short fields.

Thanks, we'll look into what's going on with the Baron here.

I just remembered that the engines were running fine and I was airborne, then went to try flipping both fuel pump switches from center where they were since spawn to the up position. That action is what made the engines die. If I go flying now and don't touch anything but flaps and gear, I can fly forever without issues. Not too worried about the fuel flow gauge needles being dead now, it's just so much fun to fly this bird which one of my friends owns and it is bringing back memories. Great job so far guys.

Noticed in the new update the Barons fuel flow gauge is still not working.

Is the Baron fuel flow gauge still broken for you guys, or anyone else? I haven't been able to reproduce this bug yet, but several people have mentioned it being stuck at 0.

Permanently non-functional here.

While we're on the 55, the flap lever is way too sensitive. It is far to easy to apply full flaps unintentionally, and then you spend ages trying to get it to go back to half flaps, by which time you've missing the base turn and you have to go around...

TL;DR, flaps too sensitive.

We got a reproduction and figured out what's causing this, so we'll have a fix soon. We'll check out the flaps too.
