LV-909 terrier switches to "Status off"

[faldo1]

Hello,

I don't understand why my LV-909 "Terrier" sometimes switches to "Status off". Impossible to switch it back on.

There is fuel, there is electricity. Please have a look to attached image.

The fuel flow is 0, why ?

Thanks for all

Have you tried increasing the throttle? That's the first thing that comes to my mind, looking at your (very helpful!) picture.

Also, welcome aboard!

Also, if this is the first time you've used the engine after staging, you may need to press the <space> bar to start it (after increasing the throttle).

Yes, "off" just means the throttle is at zero. It's different from "deactivated".

From your picture, it looks like you are ready to go. So all you should need to do is either hit Z to go to full throttle, or tap the Shift key to go to partial throttle.

From your picture it would seem you have staged, you do have control, and you have EC and LF, and I see no mods... so if it's not simply that you forgot the throttle: check whether you have a stuck/sticky CTRL or X key - maybe your keyboard is killing the throttle intermittently.

What may help as a quick workaround: rapidly hit the key multiple times. But you may need to dismantle and clean under the key if it keeps sticking.

A mod like MechJeb hasn't assumed control?

Argh, the throttle !
