Possible Bug with Engine?

[sgtmike74]

I noticed after the latest patch, that when I start up the left engine, it is the RIGHT engine that shows the heat bloom in the external view, as if it is running.

 

I verified the engine rpm, and that shows the correct engine (#1) spooling up.

 

Also I could of sworn, when you flipped the Fuel quantity switch, it would bring the fuel gauges to life. Can anybody verify?

 

Here is a track.

As far as the heat bloom showing on the right side, I would say that is probably wrong. Although, to be honest, the last time I looked at the heat blooms for a single engine, both engines were putting out heat blooms. Its been a while.

 

I would double check your start up checklist too. I noticed you never turned on the EKRAN transmission power switch when you started the helicopter.

 

As for the fuel gauge, It is working. The bug appears to be that when during a cold start, the fuel gauges are stuck on the amount of fuel in the tanks when you start the game. you can verify the fuel gauge is working by pressing the fuel gauge test button just to the right of the fuel gauge. Two yellow lights will come on and the needles will move all the way to the "8" position and then back to where they were.

 

I noticed you got hung up on the SA-TLF power switch. It was disabled in 1.2.4. It did not function anyways. Its for the satellite communications power switch which our poor little helicopter is not equipped with... at least the version we have is not.

Confirmed. Wrong sided heat blur. Was not present in 1.2.3-

Fuel quantity now needs power to be alive. Confirmed by ED in my bug thread.
