Esac_mirmidon Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 i don´t know if this is a bug or is by desing. When you add external fuel tanks the fuel indicator shows the correct quantity. But if you drop the tanks in flight the fuel indicator remain the same, not showing less fuel because the dropped tanks. Is this a feature of the Mig? The pilot must set the new fuel quantity with the knob ? Thanks " You must think in russian.."

Eldur Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I noticed it doesn't go up again on refueling :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxJohnxx Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 That is correct. The fuel quantity indicator is not connected to any fuel-level meassuring device. You, the pilot, has to set the inital quantity. The quantity indicator will display how much fuel is left dependend on fuel flow. If you drop a tank or you leak fuel, the quantity indicator will not know that. The only actual 'real' fuel level information you get is from the 4 indicator lights, which will light up on certain fuel levels.

stray cat Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 So when I add a fuel tank on the runway by ground crew I have to dial up the capacity manually? Also are the tanks then connected or is there anything needed to connect them to the engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxJohnxx Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I am not sure yet if you then, in the simulation, would have to dial up the level yours. I think, from what I have read so far, if you add an external tank, ground crew will set the right fuel level for you. However, when you refuel, you have to set the new level yourselfe!

Roger Ramjet Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 That does mean you don`t get ANY warning when you get fuel leaked from the bird :huh: And you`re going to have a bad time trying to relight the engine... Good job MiG! :D Excuse my English, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWillis Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 The warning lights provide the fuel low cues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stray cat Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Is fuel drawn from the drop tanks first and then from the internal ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philipp2 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 When youre on ground an rearm with fuel tanks it will set automatical to correct fuel indication. But when you drop the fuel tank when its nearly full, the fuel gauge will not set itself so you've to substract the fuel amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
