Fuel in Robbie tank is not used by default

It may be supposed to be like this, but by default the fuel in the Robbie tank will not be used, and you can flame out while still having a full Robbie tank.

 

It's quite easy to avoid, as pressing the button "C AUX" on the fuel page will drain the fuel from the Robbie tank over to the forward and aft tanks, but it may be confusing until you learn that you need to do this.

 

This is both during hot and cold start.

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!

Might be, but would be good to get confirmation that "C AUX" is not enabled by default in the real Apache. Including for a hot start, where I would assume things like this is already set up.
So wanted to report it so we can get it resolved if it is supposed to operate like this or if it's a bug.

Casmo has talked about this on his streams. AUX tank is off by default, and there's no hard-and-fast rule that anyone he knew stuck to regarding when to turn it on. He said a lot of the guys would turn on their AUX tanks after about 30 minutes of flight.
