Fuel Problem

Postby flipside » Fri Oct 10, 2008 6:17 pm

I have the Avianca Boeing 707-321B and I cannot get fuel into it. I get the message that my fuel is dangerously low in the selected tank. I try cntrl-x (doesn"t work) adjusted fuel in the Create a Flight screen and nothing works. I get on the tarmac and the engines will not start. Help me please because I really like this aircraft otherwise. :-[

open the aircraft cfg file for that aircraft and look for the following lines
[fuel]
Center1   =  0.0,   0.0, -4.0, 26100.0, 3.0     //Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons)
LeftMain  = -7.0, -35.0,  0.0,  9300.0, 3.0     //Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons)
RightMain = -7.0,  35.0,  0.0,  9300.0, 3.0     //Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons)
fuel_type = 2                                   //Fuel type: 1 = Avgas, 2 = JetA
number_of_tank_selectors = 1                    
electric_pump=0
These line come from the default Boeing 777-300
If you do not see any lines like these that is your problem. 8-)

;D That could definitely be the problem.  ;)
Otherwise, I'd suggest editing your aircraft.cfg (as mentioned above) or reinstalling the aircraft (also mentioned above). I assume that this particular 707 is the only aircraft that does this, correct?
