[REPORTED] Refuelling

jonsky7 · March 7, 2019

Hi

Mulitplayer, land with centre tank still attached, when performing hot re-arm and refuel, I do not get as much total fuel as when arming a fresh centre tank.

11,xxx vs 13,xxx (ish)

Now you can just jettison the tank before landing sure, but it would be nice to get the full amount when refuelling on the ground with empty tank attached.

Thanks

Not really a Hornet bug, but a bit of a general annoyance. It's the same all over.

Since your tank is still in place it doesn't get replaced during the rearming procedure by a full one. Workaround: do a two step rearm in which you first remove the tank and then refit properly.

Longer term suggestion to ED: give external tanks a fill percentage similar to gunpods.

Ok attached a track file,

Aircraft starts with 13030lbs of fuel, fly around and do my thing, do not jettison centre tank, land, re-arm and refuel, refuel completes with 11630lbs of fuel, Internal tank is filled to full at 10800 or so

Yes, I do the workaround if I forget to drop the tank before landing, but it takes the same amount of time to do a full re-arm as it does changing one pylon.
