P-51D fuel system

[Mike Busutil]

What percent of fuel do each fuel tank hold?

 

Since we only have the option to fill the aircraft between 0% and 100%, I would like to know what percent equals a full tank for each fuel tank.

 

Also in the photo below of the fuel system from the flight manual it shows the drop tanks hold either 150 gallon drop tanks or 220 gallon drop tanks.

 

The flight manual states the drop tanks are either 75 gallons or 110 gallons. I believe the flight manual is correct, can someone confirm?

 

Currently we only have the option for one size drop tank, is this correct? Are we going to get the second option?

 

Thanks for any info, :Book:

IIRC 68% is the point where the wing tanks are full, after that the fuselage tank gets filled.

Copy, 68% wing tanks are full. Does that mean the rear fuselage tank is reading from 69% to 100%?

 

The external drop tanks are not included in the 0% to 100% reading?

AFAIK, the Drop Tanks are not included in the 1-100% in the mission editor, that is just for the internal tanks. As far as I understand it, anything above 68% starts filling the rear tank.

Total capacity 150/220lbs... I see no error there. In case you didn't figure it out yet 150 = 2x75, 220 = 2x110

Ah! Good eye Derby, I did not notice it said TOTAL. Thank's.
