cant start boeing 737 master switch #89

Open iceyrazor opened 3 years ago

iceyrazor commented 3 years ago

this isnt really a issue more of a question. because of the weird starter on a boeing 737 engin starters. i cant start it via sim connect at all. i dont want to do the auto start sequence. how do i start the boeing 737 800. eg i want the command for the master starter switch 1 & 2

ive had other software that can do it so im hoping someone has a awnser.

i have done the following.

sm = SimConnect() aq = AircraftRequests(sm, _time=150) ae = AircraftEvents(sm)

ae.Engine.TOGGLE_STARTER1() ae.Engine.TOGGLE_FUEL_VALVE_ENG1() ae.Engine.TOGGLE_PRIMER1() ae.Miscellaneous_Systems.TOGGLE_ALTERNATOR1()

and the only things that turn on is the switch on the actual vitrual cockpit switches. and thats it. and not the switch on the shift panel.

ive looked through the EventList.py file as the docs didn't really work for me. too vauge.

nvm

ae.Engine.TOGGLE_STARTER1() ae.Engine.TOGGLE_FUEL_VALVE_ENG1()

does start it just not visually on the panel. if someone does know how to have it start one the panel please tell me.

so for the most part this is solved but theres still a related error so dont close this

update. turns out its NOT flicking the master switch. i just can start without it on, on this one im using. this is still a issue. no function to start the master switch at all
