Celestiale Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Like already explained in the headline, is there any indication like a cockpit lamp or something, when the drop tanks of those birds are empty? I never know, when to drop them..
RoflSeal Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Well, Su-27 hasn't got any drop tanks so that one is easy.
Kayos Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Not sure if there is a light. In the F-15 once the main fuel tank starts going down you can assume the drop tanks are empty :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Svend_Dellepude Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 The F-15 has a switch that can show you how much fuel is in the internal and external tanks. Dont remember the command but have a look in options. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64, Asus Maximus VIII Formula, i5 6600K, Geforce 980 GTX Ti, 32 GB Ram, Samsung EVO SSD.
Texac Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I think it's Left Ctrl+D to show how much fuel is in the external or internal tanks. Maybe it's Left Shift+D With Left Ctrl+D+Left Alt+D you can make a quick test if the fuel indicator is working. - My Skins/Liveries - Improved F-16C Texture Template • Texac on YouTube •
Sweep Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Left shift D on the F-15 to cycle through fuel tank indication modes. I tend to go by total fuel amount on the F-15 though...full internal fuel is 13,450lbs (6100kg). On the Fulcrum there's a light on the fuel gauge that will illuminate when your external fuel - or at least the centerline tank (that's what I fly with 98% of the time) - is out. Lord of Salt

SDsc0rch Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 yep ---- in the eagle cycle over to the either the CL tank or the ext wing tanks and you can watch as that quantity decreases punch it off as it hits zero i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
