I believe it is not showing in your module manager as you are required to use the DCS open beta installer and NOT the stable version. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/beta/ Best of luck

Love the info presented in this thread. Can anyone explain WHY you can only choose one tank at a time? To clarify, I don't mean mechanically, but rather why the aircraft fuel system is designed that way? If things like "Rear air scoop for the cooling air" can be automated, why wasn't fuel distribution also automated?

Apologies for my late reply and thank you to everyone for you interesting comments (loving the APU discussion and comparison with European aircraft). For those who are curious, the information regarding the oil temp warnings for the FA-18C AMADs can be found on pages V-12-1, V-12-2 & primarily V-12-7 of the NATOPS guide. If I may be so bold as to ask one final question regarding the oil temp warning on the DDI... Has this oil temp warning system currently been implemented in the DCS aircraft? And if so, does this L/R AMAD warning appear on a specific page or does it flash up as a major caution on the LDDI overriding other page information? Thanks again in advance EDIT: Think my question has already been answered in this thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=214797 Thanks

Thank you luft for that excellent bit of information on the fuel system (I had not seen that document before). I still feel that even with all of the information on the DDI page (which I assume was retrieved from the NATOPS document), that the oil temperature data is a critical bit of information that is missing. I am not sure how the Oil Temp could be deduced from the DDI page information? Am I wrong and Oil Temp is now considered superfluous information with regards to maintaining an engine within correct operating conditions? Any thoughts?

Thank you for your quick response drallabco. Maybe I have misunderstood the manaul, but I thought the IFEI displays only EGT (usually determined with thermocouples positioned into the gas stream at some point downstream of the combustion chamber and not via oil temp from the turbine bearings)? Could you be more specific?

I am currently researching aircraft system philosophy and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or sources that could indicate WHY certain systems and instruments are not included with different aircraft. 1. So with the F/A-18C, one omission that stands out is the oil temperature. A) Can one of the other indicated variables on the DDI Engine page be used to indicate Oil temperature behaviour (even if indirectly)? B) Does the internal computer have a way of measuring it (even without it being indicated)? C) If all of the above answers are “NO”, why does the F/A-18C NOT have instrumentation for that variable? 2. Another set of instruments that are missing are related to the APU. Why is it not considered important in the F/A-18C (green light only) whilst in the A-10C there are at least indications for APU EGT and RPM? 3. Also, what Fuel Quantity gauging method does the F/A-18C use? The NATOPS flight manual mentions that it uses a float system during refueling and for fuel-redistribution with the control valves. It also mentions in a few sections that the fuel quantity indicators do not necessarily account for pressure and temperature effects (hence the “more or less” statements). It even looks like it does not account for density changes. Does it not use a capacitance measuring system? Any answers will be greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance for your time.
