Habu_69 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) Does it work? After flying for about 45 min I checked the fuselage gage and it still read full. Ran out of gas soon thereafter. Never mind. Guess I should RTFM BEFORE posting. Edited May 10, 2018 by Habu_69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morningmode Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Yes, it does work. By default you start on your left wing tank. That's the one that got empty after 45 minutes I guess. The gauges for the the wing tanks are in the floor, directly at the seat. The fuel tank selector is on the front console, behind the base of the joystick.

Vitormouraa Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Yup. Reading the manual is important :D SplashOneGaming Discord https://splashonegaming.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eviscerador Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Remember to switch to the fuselage tank after take off, use it up and then switch to the left / right tanks from time to time to balance the plane. Starting in the left tank is important because the excess of fuel is returned back to the left tank so you need to have some spare space on it for proper engine working.

sgtmike74 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I like to use the minute hand on the clock to help juggle when to switch tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeCuvier Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 How to read the fuel gauges? I use TrackIR and I find it impossible to read the fuel gauges. Is there any solution to display the fuel gauges somewhere on the screen, or on a second monitor?

ouPhrontis Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) I found if you have the Z(?) axis in TrackIR accelerated a little, then you can lean forward to see the gauges, in the actual aircraft there's a tension release lever on the left so you'd be able to temporarily loosen the straps to do this, in-case you feel it's unrealistic to be able to lean that far. Just for the curious, here in a P-51C at 3 minutes in he gives it a mention; Edited May 21, 2018 by ouPhrontis NATO - BF callsign: BLACKRAIN 2x X5675 hexacore CPUs for 24 cores | 72GB DDR3 ECC RAM 3 channel | GTX 1050Ti | 500GB SSD on PCIe lane | CH Products HOTAS | TrackIR5 | Win 7 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delareon Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I configured Snap Views to check the gauges. In this Thread is an explanation how to set them up (3rd Post or so i think): https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=105224 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikita_nomad Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I agree with Delareon. Snap views work the best for me also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DBS]TH0R Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I use TrackIR and I find it impossible to read the fuel gauges. Is there any solution to display the fuel gauges somewhere on the screen, or on a second monitor? I use TrackIR and can see all 3 gauges perfectly. Adjust your profile, don't use just default. Here is a good tutorial on how to set up a TiR profile: P8Z68 | 2500k @ 4.5 | GTX 1080Ti | 2x8 GB @ 1600 | TM Hog (extended 7cm) & MFG Crosswind (S/N 007) | TIR v5 WWII bomber formations | DCS P-51D: [TEST] TO distance / gross weight / temperature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
