April 9, 200521 yr Hiya guys, this is my first post so forgive me if its a dumb one!Okay; two questions to begin with ;)1) On FSBUS in the Router program, we have several Flight Sim detinations, including FUEL.Things such as "Centre Capacity" are pretty obvious, they hold the data with the fuel tank's current level?But what is "Centre"? How does one on FSBUS select between tanks, like the real aircraft on their overheads have fuel valves we can open/close? Are these in FSBUS? FInally, can we dump fuel? (And/or Refuel in flight?).....as ive seen some FS2002/4 Aircraft have fuel dump on the panels, so surely we can use it via FSBUS?Many thanks!

Check out the "FSUIPC for Programmers" document in the SDK. That shows you what exists.//Tuomas
April 10, 200521 yr In FS the fuel is controlled by 2 offsets, the Tank's % and the Capacity which is fixed for a plane that's the number max of gallon in the tank. The mix of the 2 (CAP x % / 100) give you the number of gallon you've in the tank.There's thousand of offsets in FS which control all the parameters of the planes. In FSBUS you've just some more common parameter but you can add your own parameters in myfsif.ini file and then use specific parameters. f.ex. Fuel valves (not in FSBUS) offsets are $3590 and $3594Fuel dump is not implemented in FS but you can easely create it by assigning a up/down switch to the fuel % with repeat mode set on.Or create it with CCC with a timer ... same for refuel ...You can do quite everything with FSBUS, some are still in the menu and for the others you can add your own offsets, and for the rest you built it with the CCC.Ask if you need information about thatGreetingsBOB
