Engine master switches - "other aircraft"

[gizmo71]

Have been unmapped in game but not mapped in the EngineMasters class. Do they have real value given we only use them twice per flight, or are there better uses the physical switches could be put to?

It seems like I do rather miss them...

A380X

See:

 (A:FUELSYSTEM VALVE SWITCH:#VALVE_ID#, Bool) if{
                        #VALVE_ID# (>K:FUELSYSTEM_VALVE_CLOSE)
                        (A:GENERAL ENG STARTER:#ID#, Bool) if{
                            (>K:TOGGLE_STARTER#ID#)
                        }
                    } els{
                        #VALVE_ID# (>K:FUELSYSTEM_VALVE_OPEN)
                        (A:GENERAL ENG STARTER:#ID#, Bool) ! if{
                            (>K:TOGGLE_STARTER#ID#)
                        }
                    }

This is almost certainly too long for a single command, but since we know what position our switches are being moved to, we can probably squish bits together. You may even be able to chear and just set FUELSYSTEM VALVE SWITCH because it syncs stuff up every 5s with:

<Update Frequency="5">
                (* This Update Ensures that the state of some simvars that are linked to the same button is consistent. *)
                (A:FUELSYSTEM VALVE SWITCH:#VALVE_ID#, Bool) sp1
                (A:GENERAL ENG STARTER:#ID#, Bool) l1 != if{
                    (&gt;K:TOGGLE_STARTER#ID#)
                }
            </Update>

A32NX

Interestingly, this uses much simpler UI code:

(A:FUELSYSTEM VALVE SWITCH:#VALVE_ID#, Bool) if{
                        #VALVE_ID# (>K:FUELSYSTEM_VALVE_CLOSE)
                    } els{
                        #VALVE_ID# (>K:FUELSYSTEM_VALVE_OPEN)
                    }

It actively swallows starter events so I'm guessing they just aren't used.

Fenix

Almost the opposite of the A32NX, just wants to ENGINE_MASTER_1_SET etc.

Other aircraft

The above are all working.

The default mappings are SET ENGINE MASTER 1, TOGGLE ENGINE MASTER 1, and SET ENGINE 1 FUEL VALVE. Using both SET and TOGGLE seems wrong... The Thrustmaster documents also suggest SET STARTER 1 which matches the A380X code.

In the 747, we still have to manually open the fuel cutoffs to actually start. I assume that will be true of the B38M too, so how do we want to handle that? Can we toggle them with the "fire light" buttons?
