HiNumber 1With regard to PIC failures and the time frame you can set failures to occur in - is this time only whilst flying PIC? Or is it whilst FS is running or maybe real time? If it's a month of flying PIC that must equal years of flying wothout any failures - anyone?Number 2About wing tank fuel imbalances. Why is it that the right wing tank always ends up with less fuel than the left? I often have to perform crossfeeds to get things balanced again. Anyone?Thanks

#2: I don't recall if this was intentional or not but it is perfectly realistic - two engines never have exactly the same fuel burn.

In PIC it's a bit exaggerated though. With the latest patch the difference is down to a few hundred kilos on an 8 hour flight. (But beware of possible problems due to the patch yada yada yada...)Martin767 fetishistIt's a lot like life and that's what's appealing

Hi guys thanks for your answers,Martin which patch r u referring too?

Maybe so, but I really don't mind...I mean how often would you get to press that shiny crossfeed button otherwise? :-lol

I beleive it is patch 1.3It is the one that says something about "Third party hardware"...something along those lines. It also has a couple other minor perks like: APU intake door opens & closes, 'ENTRY DOORS' on the ECAIS. I think there are others, but I don't recall what they are.-=MB=-

It's number 9 on this page:http://www.wilcopub.com/Download.htmBut look around in the forum before deciding whether to install the patch: While it fixes some problems and adds some small but neat features, it creates a few problems as well (saving flights doesn't work properly, the APU becomes available at an unrealistically low RPM, and when using the joystick to disconnect the autopilot it isn't reflected on the MCP).Martin767 fetishistIt's a lot like life and that's what's appealing

"I mean how often would you get to press that shiny crossfeed button otherwise?"But how much fun is that compared to sitting down and looking at the FMC fuel numbers for hours? ;-)Martin767 fetishistIt's a lot like life and that's what's appealing

Ah cool. I thought it was only to correct the 3rd party problems, didn't realise it had other features too.Thanks
