I can't for the life of me find the fuel tank selector on the RealAir Scout. I am somewhat familiar with the aircraft, having flown it off and on for the last few months, but never on any long trips. I realized during a longer trip today that I was only draining the right tank, and I couldn't find any switch to use the left or crossfeed and then use both.Anyone know where it is on the plane? Is there a keyboard shortcut, cause I couldn't find that either.Thanks!

On the cockpit floor? :(

I don't think so. There is just a open and close valve near the floor on the left side. Going through the manuals I have found some indication that both tanks are always draining and any uneven gauge readings could be from parking on an uneven surface. I did roll the plane up onto one wingtip by accident while taxiing a few minutes before I checked the fuel.I'm going to assume that was the cause of the readings. We'll see once I get out on a nice level flight.

This is probably caused by an FSX bug in the way the default flight is saved, if the default flight happened to be created in an aircraft with more than one fuel tank and you had only one tank selected at the time the flight was saved, this then carries over to the next similar aircraft that you load. Basically as far as I know both tanks are selected in the Scout with just the one lever, so you will have to swap back to a plane with a fuel selector that allows a 'both' position. Once the selector is in the correct position save a flight and make it default. Next time you load the sim and select the scout it should use fuel from both tanks rather than just one.

Thanks a lot.I just "ran out of fuel" with 20% still in my left tank and crashed.I'm glad to be aware of that bug.

I was having this problem too but it was my left tank that was empyting much much faster than the right. It was like it had a leak.I already had a default flight set up using the Cessna with fuel tank selector to 'both' but I went ahead and made another default flight using the same planebut this time I switched it from 'both' to 'right' to left' and back to both and then saved that as default.I also opened up the Scouts aircraft config file and noted that the fuel area did not have the '0.0' at the end of the lines that tell fuel tank location and usable and unusable fuel. The SDK examples all are ended with '0.0' so I added that after the comma. (No comma after 0.0 )One of two above items has solved my problem.If your RealAir Scout suffers fuel imbalance issues then try these two things.
