C-130 fuel

[heavyhauler 0]

I am very new to all of this and I'm sorry if this question is in the wrong spot. My fuel amount is not recognized. I can have no fuel at all and will fly all over. Another version of the C-130 will say I need to hit ctrl x to fill up. All tanks are full. What am I missing?? Thank you

Hi.

 

If you are using the Captain Sim C-130 it has a (convenient) bug which allows unlimited flight whenever the centre crossfeed valve is active. It's caused by the fact that the centre crossfeed effectively connects the fuel in the pipework to the engines and as the pipework contains unusable fuel it's never consumed so is permanently available.

 

If your plane is by another developer I can't help though it may be that within FS9 you have 'Unlimited fuel' selected. You'll find the tick-box on the Realism tab in the startup screens...

 

Cheers,

D

Thank you. I thought I might have got to the party too late. Again thank you.
