Multicrew hand over control to copilot results in aircraft shut down due to fuel level bug

[hannibal]

was in hoggit server

we tried all variants of gazelle. testing multicrew take control function

found that instructor role has major desync problem when joining gazelle (related to fuel lever). 

both instructor has nothing binded to fuel level 

instructor (copilot) ignored the frozen rotor blades with successful start up by the pilot. also instructor see NO data/movement from Radar Altimeter and Torque gauge. 

gazelle takes off.

instructor (copilot) request aircraft control. pilot accepts the request for instructor to take controls

once instructor has control, the gazelle starts to shut down.

 

***FOUND SOLUTION TO startup correctly and share aircraft controls*** (including missing blade rotation problem)

when both the instructor client and pilot client binds the fuel level axis assignment to a joystick, things seem to be normal, but following a specific procedure:

a) both the instructor client and pilot client binds the fuel level axis assignment to a joystick with axis tune with "Slider" checked, for both the sa432 pilot and copilot axis command drop down, for BOTH players.

b) pilot selects gazelle and join in server. then instructor request to join, and pilot accepts

c) both instructor (copilot) and pilot first must set the joystick set minimum input   

d) pilot set rotor brake forward.

e) pilot performs start up batt/gene/alt switches up. then starter sequence to go to 25000 RPM

f) BOTH pilot player AND instructor (copilot) player bring 60% input to move the fuel level ALMOST full forward

g) wait for rotor rpm sync with engine rpm, then BOTH pilot player and instructor (copilot) moves joystick input to have fuel level FULLY forward.

h) complete gazelle startup

 

with this method, gazelle works as intended for multicrew. blades spin for both pilot and copilot. gauges are more or less sync, copilot will see movement for radar altimeter and torque. PLUS, copilot and pilot and switch controls back and forth with no problem
