nighthawk2174 Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 So something that is really really odd to me is that the internal fuel of the 14 is 16,200lbs and with two external tanks it is 20,200. Yet when I drop the external tanks it drops me down to 14,700lbs? I'm a bit lost here how is this possible i'd assume its a bug.
johnv2pt0 Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 I could be wrong, but I think at a certain external fuel tank level the 14 starts feeding from both the internal and external. I recall someone saying that you shouldn't punch your tanks until like 14,000 lbs on the indicator to make sure you've drank all you can from the externals. If it's dropping you down to 14700 after you've been flying for a while I'd say it's working as intended, but if you fire up a fully loaded bird and drop the tanks immediately it should drop you down to 16000 like expected. Someone correct me if I'm wrong ~
Spurts Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 I don't punch until <13,600 indicated. This is correct implementation as it feeds from some of the internals and externals at the same time.
