D4n Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Shouldn't the numbers show 340? Or the bars be at 660?

RED Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 330 + 330 = 660 If you have a look at the manual; it explains that "jaug" shows total fuel and the left and right bars show the fuel of the left and right feeder fuel tank accordingly.

kobeshow Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 DETOT=total fuel. Jaug is internal fuel. Other than that yes^^ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "DCS World is the main public build, it has nothing to do with being stable" -Bignewy
Frederf Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 The two digital counters work on different principles. The detotalizer fuel works on the subtraction principle. You tell it how much fuel is present (+- switch) and it subtracts based on measured flow to the engine. It doesn't sense how much fuel is present physically. It just believes whatever the pilot tells it has for fuel. If you do something funny like jettison a half-full external tank the detot has no idea and doesn't adjust. The jaugeurs (measuring) counter senses fuel presence by capacitance or float sensors or whatever. As such it can only know internal fuel (external tanks don't have sensors I guess). It isn't adjustable by the pilot. So it's not assured that the counters will agree. One could even recognize a failure of external fuel to feed if the jaug counter decreases while there is still external fuel remaining.
