Is there any way I can eliminate the switching of fuel tanksSo the craft at all time draws fuel from all tanksThanks,

The short answer is no.

There was a glitch in FS2002 that allowed you to not worry about the fuel selectors, not sure if it applies to FS9 though. Maybe Bill or someone could confirm ?From the manual ...> FS2002, on the other hand, would not accept this work-around.

This glitch was not carried over to FS9. But I'm curious - why would you not want to have the realistic fuel system?Bill RambowMAAM-SIM http://www.fssupport.com/maam/hgrsm_blkani.gif

So we can point the plane at some far off place then come back several hours later. I've often wondered about it myself - the '3 has the endurance to fly well over a thousand miles, but I don't have the endurance to sit here while it does it. Part of the magic of flying these lovely old birds is being able to say with a feeling of awe "My goodness, that three hour flight to Brisbane on Air NZ we did last month took 11 hours in the '3 !!!" and it doesn't matter whether I was sitting here or sleeping or at work, 11 hours is 11 hours is 11 hours and gives a very real sense of how long it used to take to fly from A to B.Or, in the case of this loveliest of the lovely old birds, from A to the point at which the fuel tanks you've selected run dry.;-) Gary
