A couple of questions

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

First, when starting in air, the head seems to drop automatically, need to trim immediately or it crashes rather quickly. Is this normal?

Second, when using bore sight mode, without any missiles, the circle on HUD shifts automatically, why?

Third, to eject the central fuel tank, must the Fulcrum be straight and level first?

Lastly, how do I know how much fuel is left on the external tank?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is.

Check your key bindings to make sure there is not an accidental press somewhere.

I think it needs to be level (close to zero bank), not sure about the pitch.

You can't, but you can tell when the center tank is empty: first light on the left side of the fuel indicator will light up. It will extinguish once you jettison it [droptank].

1. Aircraft starts with neutral trim so it depends on starting speed. Head? You meant nose perhaps?

2. Check also axis bindings - it's connected to head camera.

4. You can also check if it's below corresponding yellow range marks on fuel gauge.
