Adding fuel tanks to existing aircraft?

Postby JBaymore » Tue Aug 09, 2005 10:23 am

This is a contuinuation of my simpit project.  I have an existing BAe 146-200 by Jon Murchison.  I have been flying this aircraft since fs2002 days.... and love the plane and panel.  But there is another area that I want to work on to improve the realism a bit.

The aircraft as it sits has a center tank, and two wing tanks.   The real aircraft has the wing tanks divided into inner and outer with each feeding a single engine in "normal" mode..... so there are four wing tanks.

In FSUIPC I can assign controls for using the left and right main and aux tanks... so that I already know.  What I now need to do is "add" the tanks to the plane.

Is this easily changable just from the aircraft.cfg file.... or does the .air file also need to be edited to make it work?

Thanks again.

best,

..................john

Just the aircraft.cfg file - same as adding load stations.
