August 11, 20232 yr Hi, Has anyone had trouble with turning on the left fuel tank ? I can switch it on at start but at some point during flight it will turn itself off , and only feed from the right tank. I have to fly with the right tank set at cross feed all the time, I've forgotten a couple of times and run out of fuel when the right tank empties ... and I still can't switch the left tank to open. I just want to make sure I'm not doing something stupid before I put in a ticket.
August 11, 20232 yr Haven't had that problem but the first thing I'd try if I did would be to open the NAV page on the Bendix RDR1150XL and reset all failures. Have you tried that?

August 13, 20232 yr One more thought - maybe you have conflicting control assignments. The OFF function for Fuel Selector 1 (which is the left tank) is mapped to CTRL + ALT + W If you are like me, you use the mouse to select tanks, so try deleting the CTRL + ALT + W binding in the MSFS control settings. And while you are in settings, check for anything else that may have somehow gotten assigned to controlling the tanks and delete them as well.

August 20, 20232 yr Author Bingo !!👍👍👍👍😊😊 That has done the trick. Thank you Noell for the tip. The key binding was in the Default profile so I had to save the mod as (yet another) mapping profile.
August 20, 20232 yr Great! Glad that worked for you.

January 4, 20242 yr Author However ... It soon went back to its old ways of only running on the right tank. Having just purchased the TBM 850 from Black Square I had the same fault ! I went back into the Options for Fuel to see what I might have missed, and found that my right mouse button was slaved to the Right Tank !!! Problem is now definitely solved.
