March 30, 201214 yr Not a bug. The documents PMDG provided explain that. Caio Belmock Mascarenhas de Campos
March 30, 201214 yr Author Not a bug. The documents PMDG provided explain that.which one? FCOM VOL2?thanks
March 30, 201214 yr which one? FCOM VOL2?thanksIf I recall correctly it's the Introduction PDF which covers this. Lukas "TIN TIN -=9th Shrek=-" Mathijsen
March 30, 201214 yr which one? FCOM VOL2?thanksSorry, but I could't find it. Actually, what I've found says the opposite - that the pumps go automatically OFF if the total fuel amount is not enough to have fuel in the center tank.I'm sure I've read somewhere that it follows some logic or rule though, so I'm sure it's not a bug.

March 30, 201214 yr Commercial Member It's not a bug - just a convenience that they are switched based on fuel quantity.Best regards,Robin.
March 31, 201214 yr Author ok if its known feature of NGX anyway i didnt find any information on VOL2 or intro manual ' will be happy for technical information about this functionthanks
March 31, 201214 yr Commercial Member If you search the forum, there was a problem with fuel scavenge that was modeled with 10X fuel rate. I found it on the NGX because I did tests on it, other users, found it because they were flying with center pumps switched OFF.Now, PMDG did an automatic logic (that I hate) but few users are still capable to wrongly switch them off with fuel in it....Page 1159 FCOM2 contains the explanation.
