Eldur Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 The manual says that when refueling and rearming, some switches will be flipped. I actually saw just one being switched off which is the main nose cone switch. So here's some thoughts: First I'm wondering why, but this might have some technical reasons while refueling the aircraft. But now why is it being switched off as soon as all the work is finished, and not at the beginning? Also, if it must be switched off prior to refueling, it could also be switched on again. Or even better: It has to be done manually by the pilot if it's mandatory. Just let the ground crew say "unable to comply" if something's missing. Yes, I see the people coming in here already asking if it's bugged, but that would be a classic RTFM case then, just like the good old "Shift F1" question in Il-2 :D Second thing I'm wondering about is the fuel gauge. Obviously it has to be set manually and somehow it must know the fuel flow to come down while the engine is running. After refueling, it's not touched and we have to crank it up manually (has some strange jumping when doing so by scrolling the mouse wheel over it BTW). But when getting fuel tanks, the amount is added appropriately - why not also on refueling as other things happen already liek the nose cone being shut off? It should be either manual or automatic, but not one of them in one case and the other one in a differenct case :)
