Empty fuel tanks on ramp start TE's

Sounds like somethings are fubared. Maybe a clean install is in order.

I just did an uninstall/install using the U1 setup app in the U1 setup folder. Is that considered a clean install process? Not sure if there are additional steps required for a truly clean install. I then recreated my ramp start TE and still get the exact same results - empty fuel tanks on the ramp. I’m just scratching my head over the fact that even the pre-installed Training TE #11 (LGB_Ramp) is doing the same thing - empty fuel tanks at the start of the TE. Isn’t that an indication it’s not a problem with my own saved TE? Again, this problem all started when I went from U2 to U5. Short of another idea, maybe I’ll reinstall to U2 only and see if the problem goes away.

Nope.
Uninstall.
Download the files again. In the past this was one major issue. Dont ask me but there where some bad download links. So use those in bms official announcements.

Okay, I did a complete uninstall and started over with new downloads using the recommended bitTorrents. I stopped at U2 this time, checked the ramp start training TE and still have the same problem, so it probably had nothing to do with my U2 to U5 update. I’m racking my brain to figure out what, if anything, I changed/updated on my system to trigger this.

Now my fuel tanks are empty when I start my saved cold ramp start TE.
You mentioned this was a “saved TE”.
Have you tried converting it with MC??
Something’s fishy here??
How about uploading the TE so it can be checked by others?

What if you start in the air?
What if you start a campaign flight cold? -
You mentioned this was a “saved TE”.
if done with 4.33 or 4.33.1 it wouldn’t matter
If done with 4.32 it would simply crash on startup, so I doubt that’s the issueI must say I can’t think of what could be the reason for this…
Does the Te has other aircraft in it and sorry to ask but are you affirmative you spawn into a F-16?

Problem solved and I apologize. I just realized that the fuel quantity indicator does not work off of the battery buss. The fuel indicator does not show fuel until main or standby generators are online. I fired off the EPU and could see that there was fuel onboard. So it turns out when I updated (and even reinstalled) I didn’t think to check the idle cutoff in configuration. That defaults to off and that was why my engine wouldn’t start when I advanced my throttle - not because I didn’t have fuel! Sorry again.

Eh, and no need to apologize. Somewhere down the line someone will run into this issue and this thread will help them.
It’s just like paying it forward!!!
