While flying the B-17 today I had an engine failure on #2 and shut it down and feathered the prop. Just for something to do I switched the vacuum pump to #2 and to my surprise nothing changed , all vacuum instruments worked as intended . After landing I went to the hanger and checked for the problem and in the notes it said that the supercharger on #1 was not fit for flight but it was #2 that had the problem and showed up in red over the #2 engine. I clicked on the red and corrected the problem on the #2 engine and the note on the #1 engine dissapeared Any sugestions as to what the problem might be .
Thank you for your answers ahead of time
Keep smiling

Re: Something Odd
Hi tug, I noticed the same thing with the vacuum pump selector switch. In an old thread posted by lequinne is a solution for this 'problem', works like charm.

As to your engine problem, got no clue why engine #1 and #2 seem be linked.. What part(s) were labeled red in engine #2?
Being a longtime lurker on this forum I thought, while nobody answered your question yet, I give it a go

Re: Something Odd
It sounds like you may have encountered a bug but just to check you are all updated since installing the B-17?

Re: Something Odd
I have put the line into the panel folder like it suggested and i am the same as the last poster Warbirds. It will not correct the problem for me. Being as computer daft as I am I have likely done something wrong . I do appreciate the help though . I will keep thinking about what I have screwed up and may figure it out.
Thanks again for the help

Re: Something Odd
I'll take a look at it tomorrow, then I can check where I've put my files exactly. At first, I couldn't get it to work either
I'm not sure, but I think I was taking the xml file out of the zip file while the zip file itself had to be placed in the panel folder. But I will check that tomorrow to be sure

Re: Something Odd
I've just checked it, the CAB file, which you downloaded, goes directly in the panel folder as a whole (Path: FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\WoP2_b17g\panel) and the line
gauge24=Vacuum_Selector!vacuum, 25,25,25,25 goes into the panel.cfg file under the other gauges.
That's how it works for me at least..
I hope you can get it to work now, every little thing to make it more realistic is worth looking at.

Re: Something Odd
Hey there Denny120, Just tried out the fix that you gave me and it works like a charm. The problem was that I did not down load and install the cab file. I noticed that you mentioned it in your last post. Thank you for your help, all is good in my sim world now . Still puzzled about that eng#2 and eng # 1 thing though but Lewis is looking into it. May have just been a glitch in my computer that day though as I have never had any other problems with the B-17.
Thanks again and have a great day.

Re: Something Odd
Hey Tug, glad you're sorted You could try to blow your supercharger again and see if it results in the same error in the notes
I'm glad to be of help and a great day to you too!
