Aernov Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Once I noticed that my fuel pressure was sitting at about 22 PSI, bottom of blue arch. So, I played with emergency boost pump rheostat and got no change in fuel pressure. Engine operated smoothly and I got no trouble in that flight. Then I played with it in different missions, on the ground and in air, and got no pressure change. Is it not working? Is it known/reported? ^ Rheostat at normal position ^ At max boost. Also, I'm seeing different normal fuel pressure readings in real pilot's manual (16-17 in flight, >7 at idle). These manuals show different fuel pressure gauge (separate), but are marked for D models too. Did D-30/40 get more powerful fuel pump and plumbing for higher pressure? Or is it some gauge/sensor difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saburo_cz Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 The boost pump rheostat does not work as it should. Reported long time ago, marked as a bug and locked. Then ignored, as others... 1 F-15E | F-14A/B P-51D | P-47D | Mosquito FB Mk VI |Spitfire | Fw 190D | Fw 190A | Bf 109K | WWII Assets Pack Normandy 2 | The Channel | Sinai | Syria | PG | NTTR | South Atlantic F/A-18 | F-86 | F-16C | A-10C | FC-3 | CA | SC | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it wasn't ignored but "things to do" list is enormous and it waits for it turn 1 System specs: I7 14700KF, Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite, 64GB DDR4 3600MHz, Gigabyte RTX 4090,Win 11, 48" OLED LG TV + 42" LG LED monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
