FlippingGerman Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 After taking battle damage to internal fuel tanks - i.e. fuel drains out -, land, repair, refuel and restart. Indicated fuel on the IEFI is then Full Tank + whatever actual internal fuel is. After a few minutes of runtime, the engines cut out, as though they have run out of fuel - even though I just refueled. Refueling again repeats the cycle - fuel level then goes up to ~30k lb, until the engines cut out. Below fuel level is impossible, even with external tanks, and I have none. I do have a track file, but it's hours long, happened somewhere in the middle, and is nearly 200MB. I can post it if needed, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tholozor Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) I was finally able to reproduce this in a short track. Used a low-yield explosion trigger on the ground to simulate battle damage. Issue seems to coincide with an MC1 failure and the affected leaking fuel tanks. GEN TIE warning light also present after repair and right engine restart (fixed by resetting the GEN TIE switch as-per NATOPS instructions). Reported fuel temperature read as 1000°C on the ENG page, causing the FUEL HOT caution.

secretcode Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I just had a similar problem. I got battle damaged and a Fuel Leak, managed to land, shutdown the aircraft, repair and rearm. The rearming was taking a lot of time and I could hear the sound of the aircraft being refueled. It took so long that I decided to startup the plane and check the fuel gauge, that is when I realized I had 24,000lb of fuel with no external tanks. The plane was fine although I had L FUEL HOT and R FUEL HOT errors on the left DDI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if the issue doesn't manifest itself on that one and I'll try and reproduce it again.

QuiGon Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 During a flight I recieved enemy MG fire that damaged my tank and my left generator. I landed and repaired the aircraft, but when I refueled again I ran in a couple of issues: - The fuel counter went crazy showing up to 22.XXXlbs without external fuel tanks installed (see screenshot). - The refueling process never finished (The ground crew never reported "refueling complete" and I could here the refueling sound continiously for 10+ minutes) - The real fuel never went up, as my engines suddenly shut down after some minutes (I landed with 400lbs fuel). Unfortunately I don't have a usable track file as this happened on a busy MP server after quite some time of flying. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Cerdon Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I think this was originally mentioned in forum post below but not as a bug. Just tried to recreate this in single player with me and a stinger but couldn't. This mostly occurs to me when playing on the DDCS server but that may be down to the prevalence of ir sams and manpads which allow me to go home with a fuel leak. Below I'll provide an image of the bug as well as the latest track which I experienced this, however because I couldn't replicate this in SP I don't have a good trackfile to give. Basically, when the F18 leaks fuel and is then landed and repaired, the fuel system is bugged, possibly in its simulation but definitely in its output. You get a fuel hot caution and your aircraft reports having over 20,000 pounds of fuel onboard which should not be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H60MTI Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Caught some flak. Landed. Got repaired then rearmed/fueled. Now I'm showing 25,000lbs of fuel onboard with just internal and belly tank...And now it just shut down the engines while I'm typing this. I caught a bug or something.
