Roberto, Already sent. See my reply to your PM. Stewart

What rightseat said....

That may be the case if the landing gear aren't extended. Stew

It will work in v4.5, but not supported, as I understand it. Looking forward to seeing how it goes...

One of the reasons I haven't gone over to v5.1. The Milviz C350R redux version, in my opinion, is one of the finest light twin-engine sim aircraft around. Stew

Three zips are on their way, Bill's mod, a reference list, and a checklist. Be sure to follow the checklist carefully in order to avoid an engine fire. Thanks for the tip about the pm being full. I'll check it out. Stew

I don't believe a PM will work to send zip files, Joe. But PM your email address to me and I can send you Bill's mod 3.1.

Not a problem. The zips are on their way. Stew

I apologize for the long delay. Please pm your email address and I'll send everything along. The most recent mod is 3.1 btw. Stew

Hello, Kevin. I apologize for the late reply--real life business and all. Without an email address, I'm afraid I can't send you a copy of the mod. Please try again. Stew

Thanks, Ark. Problem solved--see my edit to the original post. Sorry for the trouble. Stew

I'm having trouble updating my older version of the C441 to the latest 2.5. I've tried using the product page, but there doesn't seem to be a way to update the product. It may be a problem with my having bought it originally under an old email address, but I have since had to change it and now no update method is offered, as far as I can tell. What can I do? Stew Edit: Sorry for the false alarm. It seems I ordered the product from PC Aviator, and I have just finished dl-ing the newest version. I'm embarrassed my memory is perhaps not as good as it should be! But all is well now!

My 3 zips for the Cheyenne II, including Bill's mod, are on their way to you. I don't have the Commander 690 mod. Stew Edit to add: On second look, I do have the 690 mod, and it's on its way, also.

Hello, Robert. We're doing well, thank you. The mod for the PA42 Cheyenne III is on its way. Enjoy! Stew

It used to work either way, but at some point, something got goofed up with one of the updates and was never fixed. It wasn't a show-stopper for me since I like to use the "a" for changing my views of the front panel and the rest of the interior of the aircraft.

Press the "a" key twice, I think. 🙂

Instead of using the popup view to set the fuel tanks, have you tried using the non-popup view, i.e., selecting the tanks directly from the floor selector? I almost never use the popup view--I recall having some issues using the popup view, but that was awhile ago. I think that could be the issue you are having. Stew

That should not be the case. Sounds like a question for the Milviz support forum. Sorry.

No way. The pilot must do that himself. The plane is stupid in that regard.

Yes, you can, but I don't know why you would want to do that. It would seem to confuse the whole fuel management operation.

I'll plan to make a short flight this afternoon using the crossfeed settings and see how it goes. I'm confident it's modeled correctly, flying P3Dv4.5, btw.

@oneleg Your original illustration in post #1 shows the fuel levers in a "crossfeed" configuration. The left-hand switch is feeding the left main tank to the right engine, while the right-hand switch is feeding the right main tank to the left engine. That is the definition of "crossfeed". Notice the solid "yellow" border of the dial setting in each case.

Out of curiosity, can you elaborate? Don't get me wrong--I have no problem with how the fuel management seems to work already, but I don't think it works quite the same as Kevin (310pilot) describes his system.

@fppilot Here's the video from 310pilot you were referring to. I'm not at all sure the Milviz 310R fuel system works in the manner he describes. In fact, I doubt it. But here you go. Start at 11:30 into the clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJwteTldPu8 Stew

Well, there aren't any crossfeed tanks per se. If you select "crossfeed", it means the left tank will feed the right engine and the right tank will feed the left engine. Yeah, I know--it seems redundant. But that's my understanding. I personally have never used that setting. In cruise, I use the aux tanks until there is about 10 gallons left each side, then switch to mains. Stew Edit to add: In fact there is no crossfeed "setting". Just to clear that up.
