External tank jettison?

[statrekmike]

Aside from the emergency jettison button (that doesn't currently work), is there a way to jettison the external tanks currently?

You can instead go to SMS page, then press S-J button and you can have it not work there, instead ;)

Hopefully getting that implemented is a priority. Having the ability to jettison tanks is a pretty important aspect of the plane's normal operation. Without it, longer, somewhat realistically structured missions are pretty much impossible without constant mid-air refueling.

So there seriously is no way to eject spent fuel tanks currently?

 

no

Please note the known issues thread in the Bugs section, and note this is early access.

 

Thanks.
