fargo007 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 If so, I haven't figured out how to accomplish that. Have fun. Don't suck. Kill bad guys. https://discord.gg/blacksharkden/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IzoAzlion Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I believe so. Below the fuel counter turn the knob to desired bingo Hit pumps, carry on, auto off. I think it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisy_lightning Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I did it last night to dump fuel prior to landing on deck. Seemed to work yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fargo007 Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) Thank you. Could I persuade any of you to be more specific with the procedure? That's exactly what I want to employ it for. ETA - I think it's as simple as setting the bingo fuel and hitting the two dump switches on the left panel. I expected the fuel to deplete quickly but it just seems to tick down very slowly. Edited December 7, 2017 by fargo007 Have fun. Don't suck.

Yes it's pretty slow - Will take a few minutes to drain. i7-4790k @ 4.4GHZ, 32GB G.

fargo007 Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) So after dumping fuel successfully, landing on the LHA-1, the dump switches cannot be used again. They remain stuck in the down position, and seem to continue dumping fuel at the same rate. You can refuel, but once you do you cannot dump fuel a second time. The switches seem to remain inoperable after the system turns them off. Am I missing a step? Edited December 8, 2017 by fargo007 Incorrect assertions addressed Have fun. Don't suck.

noisy_lightning Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Same happens to me, initially I thought it was as I was under bingo but when I lowered the bingo it still wouldn't allow me to operate the dump switches again. I think it must be bugged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickenSim Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Can't speak to whether the switch is bugged but keep in mind that the aircraft will dump fuel and automatically shut off the dump switches at the desired BINGO state or once the wing and external tanks are depleted, whichever comes first. It won't dump fuel from any of the 5 internal fuselage tanks so setting a BINGO below that won't have an effect. "It is also true that we parted ways with Chicken after some disagreements."

ESAc_matador Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 From the NATOPS, full tank isl depleted in 5 minutes or so... So it takes a while... When i see it, you feel like a normal fuel compsumption... just little faster, but it is not like in 30 seconds you are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you refuel with another full load of fuel, you cannot dump fuel a second time. Have fun. Don't suck.
