Low fuel warning

[Nialfb]

The low fuel warning in the MiG-29A Fulcrum is set to 550Kg of fuel. Was that fixed in the real aircraft, or could the minimum fuel level be adjusted? If it was adjustable in the real MiG-29A, can we have it adjustable in the sim?

Thanks

I think it is fixed because you have text warning light which will always display that number. You cannot change it's value. And actual bingo fuel should be around 1000kg, but you do not get warning for that.

Thanks Daca. I was just wondering if the Bingo fuel could be changed llike in the US planes. If it can't, thats fine.

That is too old plane for that. It's computer is pretty limited.

Maybe someone can correct me, but I think it is not possible. And MiG-29A is designed for short flights, probably wouldn't need that.

You can still go 200 km on 550 kg if careful and follow the most efficient speeds I outline in my video. It is roughly 12-15% fuel remaining after all

I find it pretty easy to quickly glance down and notice the “fuel tank empty” lights, so depending on how many lights you see on, you know when CL tank is empty, wing tanks are empty, tank 3 and 1 are empty.

MiG-29 fuel tanks

CL empty: 75% of max

Wing tanks: 50% of max, 75% not counting CL

Tank 3: 20/25% for same

550 kg: 12/15%
