Hello.

On the B747-8 the F/O configures the Fuelpumps incorrectly during the before start procedure:

With 26tons FOB, the F/O activates the override pumps & opens the x-feed valves, which leads to a "FUEL TANK/ENG" EICAS-Message. Thus, I have to deactivate the override pumps and close the x-feed valves ( which extinguishes the EICAS Message ).

Most current PMDG 747 update and FS2Crew v1.7.

Best regards,

Toto

We do the best we can with the data that's available.  The fuel system in the 747 is massively complex.  We do our best but it's not going to be perfect every time.

Cheers,
