KilledAlive Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I know that the wing tank drop switches are easy to access, but I have yet to find a switch that can drop the 800L Fuel Tank on the aircraft's belly. I had seen in a word search that a switch to drop the tank exists, but I haven't found it yet. I'd rather drop the tank the moment it's empty to save some drag and hopefully boost my maneuverability and fuel efficiency. If anyone can snag a picture of where that switch is, that would be great. Or, if it's not tactically accurate to drop them at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonne Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Dropping the central fuel tank is so important, that they have put the button for it on the stick. It is the pinky button, but you will have to map it or use the standard key, as it is not reachable by mouseclick. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lixma 06 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I've mapped it on the space-bar. It's safely out of reach during normal flight but dead easy to hit when the bad people show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilledAlive Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Thank you for the info! You go through so much fuel, dropping those fellas seems like a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepin1234 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Thank you for the info! You go through so much fuel, dropping those fellas seems like a good idea. If you drop the tank with fuel still in, you will get a misread fuel gauge. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auditor Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 If you drop a tank before a dogfight, just adjust the gauge to 3000 liters after you do, and it's accurate again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is what I suspected he probably gonna need after see is asking for tank drop. Probably the next question is the key combination to do that. He is not that silly maybe.

To my best knowledge the central drop tank switch is under the red cover on the front side of the stick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilledAlive Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 I had noticed in the manual that the switch was either somewhere in front of the control stick or on the control stick itself. impressive showcase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
