Tank selector switch

Post by helbel » Wed Jan 17, 2018 8:05 am

hallo,
in the C310 the tank selector switches shows in the 3D another picture to the popup 2D-Window . In 3D one selector shows wrong, one right. Only the popup 2D-Window switches working right for fuel-flow.

Hi,

I've noticed that In the VC view, both selectors need to be set to the "right main 50 gal" position in order to have the left engine draw down from the left main tank.

There also seems to be something funny going on with the aux tanks. In the pre-P3Dv4 aircraft, the aircraft.cfg file shows 32 gallons possible in each aux ("external") tank; in the P3Dv4 cfg file it shows 0 gallons possible in each aux tank. I tried changing the cfg file to permit 32 gallons in each aux tank; the fuel quantity gauge shows fuel in the aux tanks OK, but the engines quit when selecting the aux tanks. :?:

Regards,

Art

Hallo,
I have P3D V4.1 and the C310. In P3D- Menue " fuel and payload" I can only find under"change fuel": left and right tank (100%= 382,12 liter). Fuel for auxiliary is not awailable and not shown. The fuel quantity in the Cockpit shows every Zero. Where can I fill my aux-tanks??

Edit the aircraft.cfg file to correct the aux fuel problem:

[fuel]
//normal fuel capacity is 163 gals.
LeftMain = -0.5, -15.00, 0.0, 51.0, 1.5
RightMain = -0.5, 15.00, 0.0, 51.0, 1.5
External1= -1.4, -3.45, 0.0, 32.0, 0.0
External2= -1.4, 3.45, 0.0, 32.0, 0.0
fuel_type = 1 //Fuel type: 1 = Avgas, 2 = JetA
number_of_tank_selectors = 2
electric_pump=1

The left tank selector switch shows wrong picture: When turn in 2d-popup Blue/blue, than in the VC is yelow/blue. When I turn the left in VC to "Blue" left motor dont start , only when it is in yelow.
