javelina1 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I've been practicing my cold/ramp starts. One thing I notice is that my fuel gauge never seems to show any indication of consumption. It's always full (14). Plus, I never seem to get that nice big yellow dot in the middle of the gauge, that the video's and manual show. I do NOT have unlimited fuel set in the options. ;) Curious, am I missing a step in the startup process to enable the gauge to work?

DerNeueMensch Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Look up the fuel section in the manual - it has an internal fuel capacity of 2170 Ltrs. (1700kg) the gauge only shows 1400. Fuel tank 3 and 4 are drained first (indication of emptiness by light on the left below fuel pump switches), after that the gauge should indicate drainage on fuel tanks 1 and 2, if I understood correctly.

izzyssm Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 It sounds like when you start to see drainage to use that as a bingo fuel indicator Ryzen 7 3800x - 32G DDR4 3400Mhz - RTX 2070 - M.2 1TB - Saitek x52 - Thrustmaster TFRP Pedals - Oculus Rift - 2 lap cats Modules: FC3, Mirage 2000, AJS37 Viggen, AV-8B, MIG-21bis, MIG-19P, Mig-15, F5-E3, F-86F, A-4, F-14, A-10C, JF-17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
