Max Fuel Question.

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Greetings,

I purchased AH last night and am loving it!!

I did however import my Feelthere Caravan and got an issue with the fuel.  When I fueled the aircraft for the flight it put all the fuel in the left tank, right was completely empty.  I just dealt with it as it was my first flight.  When I got done flying I was comparing that Caravan to one of the defaults and the Max fuel value on the Feel there model is 175.5 GAL and the default Caravan is 332 GAL... I'm thinking it may be only taking my left tank into consideration due to the way the aircraft.cfg is.  Is there a way to fix this?  

Thanks in advance,

-Dave Sybiak

	Sorry I should have mentioned FS9. Here's the section you asked for: [fuel] //Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons) fuel_type = 2 number_of_tank_selectors = 1 LeftMain = -16.98,-8.0, 2.6, 167.5, 3.6 //B, 167.5 gal TCDS -203.8 in = -16.98 ft RightMain = -16.98, 8.0, 2.6, 167.5 3.6 electric_pump=1 Please let me know if you need more info. Thanks, -Dave

	No, no need for more info, it's a bug in your aircraft.cfg, just put a comma between 167.5 and 3.6 in your RightMain line, then your ok, I hope. RightMain = -16.98, 8.0, 2.6, 167.5 here a comma 3.6 Dree

	Well done Dree - that's correct. Make sure you remove the aircraft in AH first (if you own any you'll have to sell it!), then change the aircraft.cfg, then re-import, and it'll be fine :)

	Ahh, I see that's easy enough... I'm off to add a comma. Thanks Dree and Slopey for your quick responses. -Dave
