MaRaud3r Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 After a full refuel (with three bags) in MP, engines shut off early. Game did not seem to recognise the refuel as i went 'bingo' a short time later. https://imgur.com/a/HnJaeNW

JUICE-AWG Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 After a full refuel (with three bags) in MP, engines shut off early. Game did not seem to recognise the refuel as i went 'bingo' a short time later. https://imgur.com/a/HnJaeNW Good test, I never thought to try 3 bags as that's only a Ferry or Long Cross-Country Config for fighters. I will try it out tonight. "There are only two types of aircraft, Fighters and Targets." Doyle "Wahoo" Nicholson [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
=Panther= Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 You left your Aerial Refueling door open, seen by the Blue Ready Light on the right Indexer. When that door is open, the external fuel tanks are not transferring, zero pressure to transfer. So you are only on internal fuel, which is roughly 7100lbs. That extra fuel in the externals were just unusable fuel and added weight. Need to be cautious and run a checklist.

JUICE-AWG Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Yes, that could be it...per the -1...but does it effect the Centerline Tank? "There are only two types of aircraft, Fighters and Targets." Doyle "Wahoo" Nicholson [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
=Panther= Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Yes, that could be it...per the -1...but does it effect the Centerline Tank? Yes, all three tanks work on the same design. They need air pressure to transfer, they depressurize once the door is opened to allow fuel to flow back into the externals.

=Panther= Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Panther, have you talked to VTB Ray? How is he doing with this travel shutdown? Haven't chatted since last week, when they laid off a lot of guys and gals. :( Twitch Channel [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Virtual Thunderbirds, LLC | Sponsored by Thrustmaster Z390 Aorus Xtreme, i9 9900k, G.SKILL TridentZ Series 32GB, 1080ti 11GB, Obutto R3Volution, Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog, TPR, Cougar MFDs, FSSB R3L, JetSeat, Oculus Rift S, Buddy-Fox A-10C UFC, F/A-18C UFC, Tek Creations F-16 ICP
