Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Accurate fuel flow simulation.

Describe the feature you'd like to see implemented

Engines should be able to be started with fuel pumps turned off, due to gravity feeding.

References

Confirmed by several RL A320 pilots and engineers.

Additional context

Although not standard procedure, study level requires that sort of realism.
