August 7, 200322 yr Perhaps this has already been noted and I just did not see it, but a small fuel imbalance issue remains between the right and left wing tanks. If the Center tank is enpty or simply has the pumps shut off, a small imbalance soon develops between the wing tanks. The difference grows until reaching exactly 120 pounds and then stays at that level for the rest of the flight. If I correct it by opening the crossfeed and shutting off the pumps on one side until they are equal, the situation is recreated shortly after switching the tanks back on. Obvoiusly, since it does not go beyond 120 pounds, this is not a serious problem, but it is wierd and I wnated to bring it to PMDG's attention in case they had not seen this.Andrew
August 7, 200322 yr hi,I still have the bug where I cant change the amount of fuel in the fuel tanks even after the patch. BTW I did try going into the aircraft.cfg and setting the number of fuel tank selectors to 3 and the doesent work. I also tried using the remove tool and installing the patch over a clean install of the pmdg 737.Andrew
August 7, 200322 yr Hi Andrew,Small inbalances between the main tanks are common on real aircraft, due to different fuel burn on the engines. It wouldn Mats JohanssonPMDG Flight Test Dept | Asus Z270-A | Intel i5-7600K @ 4.8 GHz OC/H2O | nVidia Geforce GTX 1070 8GB OC/O2|
August 7, 200322 yr Try changing the the # of tanks in the .cfg file to 0. It works for me.Dave Colavecchio
August 7, 200322 yr Hi Andrew,if you change the number of fuel selectors to 3, FS will keep all three tanks open at all times, so the overhead fuel switches have no effect. I haven't noticed any significant imbalances, only the left tankk seems to stay about 10lbs behind the right one. However, a small imbalance is actually quite realistic, and in FS, even PIC does it (although that's a bug as well, but one that creates more realism). If it's only 120lbs or so, and you can correct it by crossfeeding, I wouldn't bother fixing it... :). Cheers,Gosta.http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg
August 7, 200322 yr Best thing for you, change the number back to what PMDG had it set, and do what PMDG says, PAUSE the sim, adjust fuel, unpause sim, and you should have no problem adjusting fuel.
