Justflight DC-3 Fuel Tanks

[Taipan 30]

Hi Guys,

 

Just got this DC-3 and there are four fuel tanks, however I can only switch between left main, right main, left aux, and OFF.

 

There is no way to select right aux when clicking through it just cycles the above in order.

 

However the fuel gauge shows four fuel tanks, so I'm thinking there must be a way to use the fuel in the fourth tank?

 

Or a way to select it?

 

Anybody got this plane figured out the fuel system?

 

and before anyone says RTFM, I did, it took me about 10 minutes

I've read the whole manual but it's not very detailed..

 

I've read the real DC-3 doesn't have a right-aux tank or fuel transfer, so I don't know what's going on there when there are 4 tanks but only 3 selectable in the sim..

Somebody must fly DC-3?

 

Have JF just got the fuel tanks wrong and added the 4th tank by mistake?

 

I can just empty tank 4 before flight if that's the case..

From what I have seen looking through several original manuals,

There should be 2 fuel cocks, one for each engine, and each has 5 positions,

Off, Left Aux, Left Main, Right Main, Right Aux,

Starting at 5 O'clock, then going round in that order.

Additional long range tanks can be fitted, and have manual valves to link them into the fuel system.

Thanks Sara, that matches the Just Flight model, except clicking the fuel cocks skips over right aux.

 

I might have to open a ticket with JF unless someone else can confirm if right aux works.

 

Cheers
