Bought this plane and went to do a start up and the fuel pump switch is not available to toggle.

Any help is appreciated.

Heya!

What exactly do you mean with "is not available to toggle?"

For me its right here and moves as it should 🙂 Also is this on Xbox or PC?
 

PC. Mine doesn't highlight, and the only way to start up is E+shift I think. I got it started, but I cant toggle the fuel pump if I try to do it myself.

iniStore or Marketplace?

Could you please show me a video of you trying to click the switch?

Hi,

I have the same issue on PC with the msfs marketplace version.

After install the P40f, if i fly it in the same msfs session, the fuel pump works normally, but next time i launch msfs i can no longer activate it.

The switch remains in Off position (down) and there is no more tooltips name displayed.

If i use Ctrl+E, the engine starts but, the fuel pump switch remains in off position.

 

mmh, I can't reproduce this with the marketplace version on my end.

You say the switch just stays completly inoperable?

I have the same problem.

Bought and installed from Market Place on PC. Plane worked great. Came back to have another go the next day and fuel pump switch wouldn't highlight blue and couldn't be turned on. I deleted the aircraft folder from LocalCache, reinstalled from Market Place, and it worked fine. Then came back the following the day and the switch was inoperable again.

P.S. I'm not sure if it makes a difference whether you exit the session with the switch on or off. Just in case that helps test persistent data - I suspect I quit with it off (unless I crash, which is the usual outcome, in  which case I'm probably exiting with it set to on.)

Thanks All, we are looking into this as we can't reproduce it with our Marketplace source files however the Marketplace download is having intermittent issues.

Let me know if there's anything you want me to try etc.

Thanks, we simply can't reproduce it with our source files. Digging deeper into it 🙂

Can you guys please post which version of the sim you are using, Steam or Onestore

Microsoft store version for me

Microsoft Store here as well.

Hello,

 

We are aware of an issue with the P-40F regarding the MS Marketplace build on PC in relation to the fuel pump switch. This seems to be intermittent for some users and we are currently working on a fix for this which will be patched immediately by us, but may take some time to hit the Marketplace due to processing times.

 

You can continue using the plane by the following methods:

- Open the in-sim checklist, go to the Engine Start Procedure, select the “Fuel Pump” line and click “Tick Item”. The switch won’t physically show as on but it will be in the background.

 

- Press CTRL+ E to auto-start the engine

Hello, from Spain, the same thing happens to me. Purchased from MS Mercado, I usually start the engine using the checklist. I hope they fix it soon. Thanks greetings.

Same thing happening here. Microsoft store , build 1.30.12.0

Has been fixed, waiting for MS to push to Marketplace.

Thank you, works now.

Today I noticed that the dial for Altitude meter doesn't work. Doesn't highlight or turn.

Quite important meter.
