The SDK says #AutoCondition:EngineMain,2.5 this is how it should look, but in the default aircrafts in the few cases when it is used it is with : between the name and the pressure AutoCondition:EngineMain:2.5
The bigger problem is that it looks like it does not seem work. My pump is always on even when the engine driven pump supply pressure much higher then the threshold.
Once , I seen it work once, but I tried so many variations I don’t know what I used then.
What is the issue here anyone can tell me ?
Pump.1 = Name:Pump_BoostPump#Pressure:30#Destinationline:Line_BoostPump_To_FireWallShutOffValve#Type:Electric#Index:1#AutoCondition:EngineMain:2.5
Pump.2 = Name:Pump_EngineDrivenFuelPump#Pressure:30#Destinationline:Line_EngineDrivenFuelPump_To_ValveConditionLever#Type:EngineDriven#Index:1#PressureCurve:1
Edit: I see instances where is is just #AutoCondition:2.5 , and if I use this in the Fuel debug window I get a drop down menu to set the switch to off/auto/on, but the pump still stays on in auto mode.
Hello @CaptainBalu0
Your syntax is mostly correct, it is AutoCondition:<engine_name>.<pressure>
But the pressure term only takes 2 digits and I don’t think it can be a decimal.
Also, there is an issue that leads this threshold pressure to be compared to 0 psi instead of the actual current pressure, which would explain why the pump is always on.
I don’t think this can be used in its current state.
I’ll have the editor, the documentation and the system itself reviewed.

Thank you for checking
I will give it a try with . instead of , or :
The editor itself writes it as AutoCondition:<engine_name>:<pressure>
I was also beginning to suspect something is not right with it besides the syntax.
I made a mock fuel system with just 1 tank 2 pumps 1 electric with auto mode and an engine driven one, a junction to merge the pump lines to the engine.
Even in this simple setup the pump stays on in auto mode.
Edit: ye I can confirm, with AutoCondition:EngineMain.0 the pump is off, any other pressure and it is always on.
As I said, I think the implementation is incorrect and will lead to pump staying on even when the correct syntax is provided.
This will require a fix on our side.
