Zee Pet Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Hi, sorry for asking this here if it is the wrong thread as this is my first post, but I couldn't find much relative information using the search function. What I have been seeing for a while in the A-10C is after taking damage (usually from an unseen Zu-23:music_whistling:) is a trail of fuel coming from one of my wings as I fly along, even though both wing fuel tanks read empty and have been from the start of my flight, verified by total internal fuel matching central tank fuel and wings at zero. So is the fuel somehow being sucked out of the central fuel tanks into the wing tanks or is this a legitimate glitch? 1 ||i5-9600k||MSI GTX1070Ti Duke||16GB DDR4 G.SKILL Ripjaws V||Gigabyte Aorus B360||X56||

Cali Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 If that's happening, it's a glitch, the fuel isn't being sucked from somewhere else.

Yurgon Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Anyone else notice this? Never did, but then I usually worry about other things in that situation. :D Good catch, I'll keep my eyes open to see if I can confirm that (although I usually try not to get shot :lol:). :thumbup:

effte Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Does it go on for a long time? There'll be some fuel left in nooks and crannies of a fuel tank even when the pumps can't get any more out of there - you have usable and unusable fuel. Won't be much though, so if you get a hole where it'll drain, it would probably be completely empty very quickly indeed. That being said, if a reportedly empty fuel tank does leak, my money will be on it being a bug rather than a feature. :) ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.

Zee Pet Posted March 25, 2014 Author Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks for the replies. On one of the few times it happened it lasted long enough for me to fly from just below FJ grid on the map back to Gudauta, land and have it just 'leak' out until I'm repaired. I can try to post a screenshot if I can replicate it? ||i5-9600k||MSI GTX1070Ti Duke||16GB DDR4 G.SKILL Ripjaws V||Gigabyte Aorus B360||X56||
Zee Pet Posted March 26, 2014 Author Posted March 26, 2014 I tried to replicate this for a screenshot but got effects that better matched what effte said about unused fuel, but that was in single player. It is only present in multiplayer it seems because that's the only place I can replicate it. Its kind of a disadvantage in a dogfight when I think about it because not having track IR limits the smoothness of your view in a turning fight a bit (if a su-25 is feeling frisky that day) so if one plane is damaged and gets away I usually spot it by the trail of smoke/fuel and lock with a maverick before he gets away. :/ ||i5-9600k||MSI GTX1070Ti Duke||16GB DDR4 G.SKILL Ripjaws V||Gigabyte Aorus B360||X56||
