empty tip tanks?

The full tanks are so heavy and it's impossible to set an optimized weight for landing practice with them, especially the tip tanks. Hope we could have empty tanks in ME.

As a possible workaround you could:

1) Equip tip tanks

2) Defuel the aircraft to a low amount of fuel

3) Wait until the internal tanks are full again or the tip tanks empty

4) Select again to defuel the aircraft to the desired amount of fuel

Thanks. I tried and it seems that only tip tanks could be dumped with internal fuel unaffected. According to the scheme in manual, the dumping valve is in the tip tanks and the fuel flow is through non-return valves from the tip to the main tanks if not during refueling.

So I set needed internal fuel in ME and then just empty the tip tanks through fuel dumping valves and it works.

Another issue is filling order. In the ME the tip tanks fill firsts THEN the fuselage tanks. This is a Bug and reported in the testers area. Fus tanks should be filled first. This would then allow you to set any fuel weight in the Fus tank and therfore get any specific weight.

IRL on the refuelling panel are two switches which control tip tank re fuelling you can select either No Tip tank refuel or half tip tank refuel ... not supported n the sim
