[Resolved] Refuel door not opening during ground checks

[Indianajon]

Hi all, this is a bit of a weird one but on the ground the refuel door doesn't seem to open or close even though the switch is being clicked. As part of my checks I always open it but the crew chief didn't call it. I assumed it was a glitch as occasionally he misses calls such as the 'kick' one. But I went F2 and its not opening. I have done it three times on different missions and the same thing. It was working fine until relatively recently (last update). Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me going insane?

it works on my F4, but only on cold starts, if starting the mission with the aircraft already started then the crew will not call out its positions, and the same for the speedbrake positions, etc.

Are you possibly on an older version? There was a bug with the hydraulics that got fixed. Perhaps its also not in the current version yet, I have to doublecheck.

(If your version still has the bug, then you simply need to ensure your left engine is running, as well as having power on the aircraft).

Hi @Zabuzard I am up to date on the updates so it's the current version but I am checking before starting the left engine but after starting the right so maybe that's it (I do it after the spoiler check along with flaps, slats and airbrake) Will give it a try after both engines are running. @Rudel_chwit's only been when I do cold starts but I should note I haven't tried the check with a hot start.

Ive checked the update logs, the bugfix is in the upcoming update. Currently you need the left engine running for the door to work :)
