Hi,

No matter what i set in the editor or refueling via ground crew will not fill rear tank or drop tanks.So if i switch to either of them the engine quits.Rear gauge reads zero no matter what.

Hi there,

 

I bought the P51 a while ago and noticed this problem straight away, as I was trying to set up a long range escort mission on the Caucasus. Fuselage tank never fills up, drop tanks when selected don't work, and if you request refuel on the ground, the sound of refueling just goes on forever...and ever... and if you start running you hear, "HEY WHAT YOU DOING?" ... "I HAVEN'T FINISHED FILLING UP YOUR TANK FOREVER, COME BACK HERE!!!" lol (just kidding)

 

I hope they fix this soon, as well as the missing texture at the back of the seat, which in my case, misteriously, appears sometimes in some missions and disappears in others...?! Doesn't make sense.

 

Regards;

Alex.

With the upcoming release of the 190-A8 and the inevitable attention that will fall on the WWII stuff as a result, where do we stand on this bug? I mean, it may not be a HUGE deal but it is one of those things that can certainly get in the way (especially when rearming/refueling).

 

Any update on where we are at on this?

External tanks have not worked yet, but rear fuel tank is functional. At least one or two updates back.

External fuel tanks are functional in both, Beta and Stable version.

When external fuel tank is selected as a source, is necessary to move throttle to at least 1500 RPM for while when fuel pressure is falling and after that fuel pressure will remain sufficient. Without this, fuel pressure will drop to 0 PSI and engine will stop.

IRC, drop tanks are pressurized by vacuum pump exhaust, and drop tanks were made of paper ;)

I'd heard that the fuselage and drop-tanks has been repaired, but I'd never heard that the drop tanks have to be pressurised in-flight.

mkaaaaaay...

WHAT?! :shocking:

This is reason why ext. fuel tanks are connected with two pipes, one for fuel goes out and secont for pressured air goes in.

 

WHAT?! :shocking:

Not 75 galls which we have in game, they were from metal, only 108 galls from UK production were from paper...

LOL are you trying to make some kind of remark about the Brits? :D

 

JK I've always wondered how much allu the US dropped over Germany in the form of wing-tanks, and whether the Germans has a program to collect them for recycling (I'm sure they actually did, but probably coupled with collecting all shot-down aircraft).

 

Anyway, getting hit on the head by a paper tank probably hurts less...

Drop tanks out of Paper was a brilliant idea.

Oh I stand corrected, I tried running off externals on the ground and probably didn't have sufficient rpm thanks for this info.

It isn't supposed to burn ...

Rear tank, drop tanks works fine. Just tested. Have worked since december 2019?

So it is!

That's great news. Thanks for putting me right.

Might go for a real long distance jaunt around the PG map now.

No bug (for BigNewy, Nineline).

I’ll have to test it again, in my case, the needle was stuck at 40 gallons indicated for well over 10 minutes

I saw something similar. I decided I imagined it and dismissed it. Did a test:

 

Film. Spawn RWY Batumi. 50 knot (25 m/s) headwind 130', 20'C. Radiators fully open. MP 25 (no overheating). Accelerated time 50x. Video 50x for total 2500x. Looks normal continuous consumption. So I did imagine it.
