Hello @DA40CGDFQ

The documentation is correct on this, WearAndTearCollision is only applicable for batteries, generators and circuits.
We will review this and make sure the property is only exposed when applicable.

Sylvain

Thanks, as another issue with the DA62 sample. line 65,66 have a ConA(Starter_BUS, StarterA) there is no Starter_Bus you mean RH_Main_Bus.

Line 80 and 81 have this issue also.

line 85 has the A source connection as RH_Eng_ECU_BUS_A - should be RH_Eng_ECU_BUS_B as the line name suggests

There is one, bus.12 in Function_Interior systems.cfg

Apologize, I was not clear.

The name of the line is

line.65 = Name:RH_Main_BUSToStarterA # Connection:ConA(Starter_Bus,StarterA)#WearAndTearCollision:NoseDamageHigh,TailTopDamageHigh,TailBottomDamageHigh,EngineLeftDamageMedium,EngineRightDamageMedium,LeftWingDamageLow,RightWingDamageLow

This does not agree with the connection - Starter_Bus, StarterA - there is a RH_Main_BUS. So this confuses my program that reads in cfg files.
OK, line names are not a key item, but thought it would help decipher things. I will have to review my logic, thanks
