@Tingly06822 ‘s PA28 funky trees edition.

Added full startup procedure (turn on master, then avionics, then turn on the fuel pump and use mixture to start adding fuel to engine, cank by pressing key-button in ignition.

How it works:
pressing the crank key with the master switch on will crank the engine, but it wont’t start until you add fuel. The fuel pump is a simple 1, 0 (however it is smoothed so starting the engine immediately after turning on the fuel pump will result in temporary decreased engine performance, and it will take time for the engine to sputter out if the pump is turned off). The Mixture controls how much fuel from the pump goes to the engine. Once the RPM reaches a set amount when cranking, the engine be given a continous power output that depends on how much fuel is being delivered. Flaps are now also functional and the AMPS gauge is now dynamic (but i forgot to finish it). The yokes are also now VR compatible and can be dragged with a mouse (or with touch on mobile).

    @Tingly06822 I’ve uploaded it but for some reason it is a successor to this, do you want me to remove this post or figure out a way to change the successor?

    @Tingly06822 I’ve updated the XML to a newer version which has a more advanced fuel pump system, the code is a mess but it should be better

    @CatMasterLuke this is perfect just one thing the 140 has a mechanical(engine fuel pump) and an electric fuel pump which is the one we can turn off and on. The electric fuel pump is essentially a backup pump and is used on start/critical fazes of flight and when changing tanks to keep fuel pressure in the event the mechanical pump fails, it is needed during the start though because the engine needs to be running for the mechanical pump to work. that's the only thing I noticed besides that it's an amazing improvement thank you so much
