Kazansky222 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Ok, so I've been trying to setup a long range sortie at high speed and high altitude and I've been coming across a problem. I load 3 external tanks, 1 center-line, 2 on wing stations. the center-line tank drains out first, but when I hit jettison fuel tanks, it drops all 3, not just the center-line. Alternatively, with jettison weapons it drops both of the wing tank stations but that doesn't help because I want to drop the empty center-line tank first, then the wing tanks once they are dry. Is there a way to drop the center-line tank only and not the wing tanks? Or a way to make the wing tanks drain of fuel first? I have a feeling this is some kind of bug, or something that is not intended.

AeriaGloria Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Are you flying the G model? It is a good question, I don’t know but the G is supposed to be modified for the wing tanks over the A Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kappi Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 According to the RL MiG-29 manual the CL fuel tank and wing drop tanks are on separate jettison circuits. The CL tank is jettisoned via a button on the stick, while the wing tanks are jettisoned via the emergency release on the front panel. So it looks like it's not modelled correctly. Wouldn't call that a bug. ___________________________________________ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Looking forward to it, Belsimtek!:thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gecky Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 was about to ask about this too, I found that 3 tanks had minimal advantage over 2 wing tanks in ferry range though. the drag I guess. 3 tanks only increased range by 100km when doing 500ktas at 35000 ft. (2000km 2 tanks vs. 2100km w/ 3 tanks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazansky222 Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 Yea having that circuit to drop the center-line separately would be great... ED please? :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 64th "Scorpions" Aggressor Squadron Discord: 64th Aggressor Squadron TS: 195.201.110.22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
