Use the left and right mouse buttons to move the frequencies. Do you have a joystick , yoke?

Guys I have new computer with windows 8.1.  I cannot get my 727 to run in the OS.  I have FS9 and I did the whole compatibility thing and run as administer but the sim crashes every time I try to load the aircraft.  Please advise I miss flying this great aircraft.

As far as I know....

Tank to Engine at engine start (all the switches are already set that way when the 727 is first loaded into FSX).
Possibly Tank to Engine during the climb, but if not, Center Tank to ALL Engines.
Once at cruise altitude, feed all engine from the centre tank until it is equal to the fuel remaining in the wing tanks, then switch it back to Tank to Engine for the rest of the flight.

Note. If all fuel tanks are equal when you start the engines, leave them that way for the entire flight.

To set it up so that the center tank to feeds all the engines, set the switches like I have them set in the following image:

No! The image is for how to set them so that the Center Tank feeds fuel to all 3 engines.

Mine do not look like they are set, in my previous reply, when the 727 first loads into FSX either.

They look like this:

That is how the fuel switches are set in the 727 when it first loads into FSX for me. With these settings, the fuel is set to Tank to Engine - i.e.:

#1 Tank (Left Wing Tank) feeds fuel to #1 Engine (Left Engine)
#2 Tank (Center Tank) feeds fuel to #2 Engine (Center Engine)
#3 Tank (Right Wing Tank) feed fuel to #3 Engine (Right Engine)

I think it helps to take the confusion out of the system if you look at the fuel panel as the schematic drawing that it actually is.

Each section (ENG 1 - left, ENG 2 - center, ENG 3 - right) is schematically drawn with the tank (represented by the gauges labeled NO 1, NO 2 & NO 3 TANK) in the middle. Follow the lines from the tank and you'll see the flow of fuel. It is drawn to the pumps, then through the LOW PRESS lights (OFF if the pumps are ON) to join up immediately prior to flowing through each respective Fuel Shutoff valve to the engine. The engines in the picture are where the ENG 1 / 2 / 3 label is, right below the shutoff valve. There are even small arrows on the lines between the low press lights and the shutoff valves indicating direction of flow.

As Mark stated, in normal operation with equal fuel in all tanks, the switches are set for tank to engine operation and the #2 Fuel Crossfeed Manifold valve stays open to keep the Fuel Crossfeed Manifold pressurized. Looking at the schematic while feeding all engines from the center tank, you can see that with the #1 & #3 AFT and FWD Boost Pumps off, the only way the left and right engines get fuel is through their respective Fuel Crossfeed Manifold valves, which will be open.

I'm pretty sure that in the real airplane, there is no need to switch off any pumps to feed all engines from the center tank, as the four pumps in the #2 system run at a higher pressure than the ones in the #1 & #3 systems, so basically overpower those to feed fuel to the outboard engines. It's been a very long time since I flew the airplane though, so in order to prove that I'd have to dig through a mound of manuals in the garage...or just wait for Lou to confirm, deny or clarify

I noticed that too, which led me to just turn off the pumps. I'm sure it doesn't work that way in the real airplane as the #2 system pumps should overpower the #1 and #3 pumps. For me that was an initial ground school thing as I flew the airplane as an FO so fuel balance wasn't my job, but that of the SO. I do remember them taking great pride when running tank to engine, in getting all the levels exactly equal by tweaking them with the Fuel Crossfeed Manifold valves. This wouldn't have been possible if they had to turn off pumps to crossfeed as the delay in re-setting pumps and valves wouldn't allow the exact equality they were looking for.

The CS version works just fine as you stated. The only time it's been an issue for me is on the odd occasion when needing max range, my virtual SO has left the system in crossfeed mode until the center tank is much lower than the wing tanks  You should be able to just turn off all the #2 pumps and feed equally from #1 and #3 but that ain't happening because of the characteristic you mentioned above about feeding from the tanks on a rotational basis. It will feed from #1 then #3 then whatever it feels like doing at the time. so it becomes from that point, a constant monitoring operation feeding from #1 with all the rest of the pumps off until its level is equal to #2, then feeding from #3 until it equals the other two.

Oh for an actual virtual SO to whom you could say, "Ain't my job...just fix it"

I've big problem with my b727 by capitan. I really like the plane but I can't fly because just before landing my fsx is turning off by an error. What i supposed to do?

sorry but I was trying to find out how to start a new post but have not found out yet...I am new on this forum...so please bear with me.....
My question is if I bought the 727 Captain ACE pack, 727 Captain 100 and 200 exterior mods do I still need to to purchase the base pack???? I bought all 3 of there back in 2005 -2007(so yes it has been a while since I bought them) I just never used them yet.... so again...would I need the Base pack for these mods????    any help is appreciated!!!!
