reported Wipers default to “Low” position at Cold Start in MP

[CrimsonGhost]

Curious If anyone else has been experiencing this issue since the last update. Not a huge problem but as there is already enough to do to get the Apache ready to fly from Cold and Dark, it is an inconvenience to have to hop into both seats and turn off the wipers.

I flew on a MP server last night in a Cold Start slot, and did not see this issue.

For further info, this is encountered during Automated Starts. I frequently use this in the Apache as it gives me time to work on waypoints and other system setup during engine start. I normally avoid auto starts as I am one for immersion and systems depth but this is an exception as the CPG would be doing most of what I work on during the Auto start.

Track files attached for both MP and SP. Same issue in both scenarios.

Upon further investigation with guidance, from Hoggit's own Lazyboot, it seems that the Autostart script is bugged. Attached are 2 screenshots of the section of the Macro_sequencies.lua file. The stock lua entries are 0.1, but when changing them to 0.0 the wipers no longer start on their own. This of course breaks the IC making the fix unusable in MP. The 0.0 entry was tested in SP and the wipers remain in the off position. Another test was done with putting the wipers in the low position PRIOR to beginning the Autostart and the script correctly moves the knobs to the off position. Track files for fix testing are attached. Current Lua file attached as well.

Any chance of the "Missing Track File" tag being removed? Feels like a scarlet letter.

Do I need to submit anything for this one?

Is this bug report and all the provided data just being ignored at this point?

I have updated the tag, but you will need to be patient, we have the whole forum to look over and higher priority issues sometimes. 

thanks
