Baz000 Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 Just saw this photograph on google image search when looking for KC-135 images and I was wondering if this was a F-15 dumping fuel
Svend_Dellepude Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 It sure is. Info about the fuel dump system: http://www.f-15e.info/joomla/technology/fuel-system/95-fuel-dumping-system [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64, Asus Maximus VIII Formula, i5 6600K, Geforce 980 GTX Ti, 32 GB Ram, Samsung EVO SSD.
HiJack Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 Must be "overflow". Fuel dump pump only on right wing.
Svend_Dellepude Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 Here is another one dumping from both wings. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64, Asus Maximus VIII Formula, i5 6600K, Geforce 980 GTX Ti, 32 GB Ram, Samsung EVO SSD.
Vitormouraa Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Press R in game to dump fuel. Edited August 26, 2017 by Vitormouraa SplashOneGaming Discord https://splashonegaming.com
Svend_Dellepude Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 I know. The thing is that I also thought that fuel dump was only from the right wing. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64, Asus Maximus VIII Formula, i5 6600K, Geforce 980 GTX Ti, 32 GB Ram, Samsung EVO SSD.
GGTharos Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 I see your pictures are all Strikes. F-15E != F-15C in all respects. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Svend_Dellepude Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Thought that. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Win10 64, Asus Maximus VIII Formula, i5 6600K, Geforce 980 GTX Ti, 32 GB Ram, Samsung EVO SSD.
HiJack Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) I see your pictures are all Strikes. F-15E != F-15C in all respects. It still only dump fuel from both wings in the emergency mode. So overflow from conformal fuel tanks or some other emergency situation. Edited August 27, 2017 by HiJack 1
Bushmanni Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Dumping in DCS used to stop at least in the past when fuel went below bingo. DCS Finland: Suomalainen DCS yhteisö -- Finnish DCS community -------------------------------------------------- SF Squadron
HiJack Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Dumping in DCS used to stop at least in the past when fuel went below bingo. Yes it did also stop when gear went down but that is many many versions ago. :huh: Broken
HiJack Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Actually I just landed yesterday and fueldump did not stop when gear came down as it should but I have not tested the bingo fuel caret in a while. I will check it.
HiJack Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) Yes, dumping stops when reaching default Bingo in 1.5.7 and 2.1. EDIT: And also if you change bingo caret it stops correctly. EDIT2: But not when gear are coming down. EDIT3: No big deal tho :smilewink: Edited August 27, 2017 by HiJack
red_coreSix Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 This specifies that fuel is dumped from both wings. It doesn't say anything about gear, but it does say dumping fuel when on the ground is possible. This is from the 1F-15A-1 though, so it might be different for the F-15C...
