[BUG] - System manual switches should have a lock for the manual mode #1487

Open Alex6511 opened 1 week ago

Alex6511 commented 1 week ago

Describe the bug

When you press a manual switch, it should lock to the manual position, even if the switch doesn't have power. You should be able to tell what position the switch is in, even when the aircraft has no power

Expected behaviour

The manual describes this a few different ways: image image From what I gather, if the system reverts to MANUAL in flight, the pilot must still set the switch to the manual position, it's not spring loaded or anything like that, but there are two distinct positions the switch should have. This is important for manual starting where selecting the manual air mode to disable the packs has to be done when the switch has no lights #1479

It looks like the electrical switch does set between auto/manual even with no power, but there's no way to see which position the switch is currently in, both positions look the same to me.

EDIT: the fuel manual/auto also swaps, but the same above applies, you cannot see the switch position.
