adding fuel points

Postby Capt.Propwash » Sat Dec 11, 2010 4:56 pm

In my FS9 - F14D REV 3, i have a fuel gauge for 5 points of fuel, yet, the gauge only shows 3.

A L C R A.     Auxiliary Left, Left, Center, Right, Auxiliary Right.   are the 5 points.

the 2 Auxiliary points are never full.



In the .cfg, you can see that only 3 places are used.   can I make auxiliary tanks on this bird and them show and actually empty like the Right and Left tanks do?



[fuel]
Center1= 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 2440.000, 0.000
LeftMain= 0.000, -2.000, 0.000, 280.000, 0.000
RightMain= 0.000, 2.000, 0.000, 280.000, 0.000
fuel_type=2.000000
number_of_tank_selectors=1
electric_pump=0



Example:
LeftAuxiliary=0.000, -4.000, 0.000, 140.000, 0.000
RightAuxiliary=0.000, 4.000, 0.000, 140.000, 0.000

I'm no 'designer', but have dabbled in such things

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
