haigotron Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) Hello, I was parked and trying out the various Ground crew radio commands. I discovered the following, but I do not know if its actually like that in real life (can they pump out excess fuel?) So I had an almost full tank of gas (both in the Forward and Aft tanks). Then I asked the gun crew to refuel me for 25% fuel via voice commands. The needles then dropped down to reflect 25% fuel load. So is this a design choice? Or simulating real-life (ie they can pump out gas too)? Or a bug? Thanks Edited December 23, 2008 by haigotron

Timm Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Hi Guys, Hey haigotron you have been had mate. Did you check to see if they were genuine ground crew ? With the price of fuel these days those so called ground crew guys have done you. You just can't trust any one. There is always someone out there ready to rip you off.

rmakowsky Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Yes on a closed fuel system they can fuel or de-fuel
Chillspider Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 How do you get repaired i Didn't see an option to do so in maintenance . Or Do you have to fly out to a FARP. which i know the R means repair but i just wanted to be sure and also wanted to know if there was a way to do so at airport.

Thanks When I was flying tourists in a Kawasaki KH4 we often had to pump fuel out if we had 3 heavy pax and high ambient temp, otherwise she wouldn't even hover IGE :pilotfly: Edited December 24, 2008 by Jack57 "The only thing a chopper pilot should do downwind is take a leak" - CFI _______________________ CPL(H).

Or Do you have to fly out to a FARP. which i know the R means repair but i just wanted to be sure and also wanted to know if there was a way to do so at airport. To repair, just shut everything down and wait for several minutes. I think after 2 or 3 minutes you will see a big pause on the game and your cockpit will be open and all switches reset to initial set up. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Thanks I do not know anything about helicopters, let alone KA-50. But aircraft that I have work before, you can refuel or defuel very easily (relatively speaking) It normally depends on how the aircraft moves fuel around. It could be by using an external air source together with ground electrical power or just ground electrical power, siphoning systems, etc. Just need a fuel truck or equivalent to provide the fuel or take it away.
