John Dowson Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 I can confirm that, for the 747-8, the Toggle Fuel Valve 1/2/3/4 controls do not work, and the value of the simvar GENERAL ENGINE FUEL VALVE, used in offsets x3590, x3594, x3598 and x359C do not report the correct state of the valves. They are not updated. For the master battery in the 747-8, it looks like the Toggle Master Battery control works, but only for turning off and not on. This seems to be related to the ELECTRICAL MASTER BATTERY simvar (offset x281C) - this always seems to be 1. When you try to toggle this using the control, or update it directly via the offset, it changes to 0 then back to 1 almost straight away, even when the update works (and turns the battery off). Its probably the fact that the simvar is 1/on even when the battery is off which is preventing it from turning on. I will report this to Asobo.

John Dowson Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Just checked the 747-10 for comparison. The master battery offset and toggle control work for that aircraft, but the fuel valves have the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
