October 14, 200718 yr Bill,Where can I find the "LINK" to fix fuel tank selection. Tonight ,I made six hours fly with MAAM-Sim DC-3. It was wonderful. The only problem I experienced at altitude 9000 main tanks was very low and I switched to Aux tanks indicates full. I run out fuel in 10 minutes. I switched Left/right Aux tanks with Fuel pumps on. No luck. Then I click Ctrl+X engine starts just I was decending through 1500 ft.After completion the flight AUX still shown 100%.I am really enjoying the DC-3.ThanksSanal
October 14, 200718 yr Did you lean your mixtures at altitude, Sanal?MarkMark "Dark Moment" BeaumontVP Fleet, DC-3 AirwaysTeam Member, MAAM-SIM[a href=http://www.swiremariners.com/cx.html" target="_blank]http://www.paxship.com/avsimlogo.jpg[/a] _________________________ Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumont VP Fleet, DC-3 Airways Team Member, MAAM-SIM
October 19, 200718 yr Today I was flying to Newfoundland CYAH-CZUM. Again fuel was low at Right Main tank. I switched to AUX tank. Engine did not start.Suddenly I realized what was I going wrong. I was trying to use fuel tank switches on Instrument Panel which was only usable for Fuel quantity indications.. I open throttle section and switch the fuel valve near Captain side and engine came alive.There were nothing wrong with MAAM-SIM DC-3 tank selection unless if you attempt like me to use Fuel indicator as fuel valve Now I know...Sanal
October 20, 200718 yr Thank goodness for that, Sanal! You had me worried. I recommend that you use the interactive checklists that the team worked so hard on... you'll find it hard to make such mistakes using those, in combination with a reading of the manual, and it adds a lot of realism to your flying.Meanwhile, do try the Autolean mods sometime. They add yet more realism to the aircraft.MarkMark "Dark Moment" BeaumontVP Fleet, DC-3 AirwaysTeam Member, MAAM-SIM[a href=http://www.swiremariners.com/cx.html" target="_blank]http://www.paxship.com/avsimlogo.jpg[/a] _________________________ Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumont VP Fleet, DC-3 Airways Team Member, MAAM-SIM
