[SU14] FLT file changes are not updated in the sim on aircraft project build

[MSFS 2020] Bug Reports
,
1

Version: SU14 - 1.35.18.0

Frequency: Frequently

Severity: High*

Context: Developing Aircraft - FLT files are not reread into build

Bug description:
When modding the flt files outside the sim in notepad++, I then build the aircraft at the runway, the flt data is not reread into the system.

Example - [FUEL.0]
LeftMain=0.92
RightMain=0.92

Remains at previous value 0.50

Also modding the trim ElevatorTrim=016.00

I assume a number of other parameters are not updated.

I also go back to the main menu and rebuild - same issue.

I close the project and reopen the project - same issue.

I restart the flight - same issue

I close the sim and restart the sim - fixes issue

Repro steps:
Mod a flt file
build aircraft
See the mod did not take

None

Required workflow - fix

Make it so that if you mod the flt files the updates to that file are read into the sim and applied to the aircraft configuration.

EDIT: Please respect the Fuel setting in the flt files. Currently in SU14 Fuel setting is ignored. Always 50% in Weight and Balance.

Hello @DA40CGDFQ ,

Thank you for reporting this.

Just to confirm: you are using the build function in the project editor, not the resync feature in the aircraft editor, correct?
It appears that triggering a build does not reload the FLT, unlike using the resync function.
This will be reviewed.

We already have a ticket about this in our backlog.

Regards,
Boris

Yes the in sim build function at the inspector. This was done at the runway.

Thank you for your feedback.

I will open a ticket regarding the issue where the project editor’s build function does not recognize the manually updated FLT files.

In the meantime, please be aware that you can use the resync function.
This will build the package with the latest version of the .FLT files and update the fields in the aircraft editor.

Regards,
Boris
