Hello,

I've analysed the fuel management bugs the last few hours and wrote it down.
Maybe it will help you to solve this problem for the next patch.
Maybe a few other people can reproduce these failures too.

I have FSX with Acceleration and C130 base pack. I'm from Germany so maybe my translated menue namings are not exactly like in the original english version.

Ok, what have I done: I'va started a normal flight and setted via FSX fuel management every single tank to 3% (not all together; just one to 3%, observing what happend after fuel was running out, than 100% fuel and then the same procedure with the next tank) and noticed what happend when the fuel was running out after few minutes.
The entries in FSX fuel mangement are (from top to down - translated):

additional tank left
additional tank right

Central tank 2
Central tank 3

External tank 1
External tank 2

right wing
left wing

And what happend:
additional tanks and external tanks (AUX and EXT) working correctly, that means, if I take out fuel of one of them, the according gauge is slowing down, X-Feed is working also correct.

left wing fuel out: ENG 1 slowing down, Gauge 1 slowing down, X-Feed possible and correct
right wing fuel out: ENG 3+4 slowing down, Gauge 3+4 slowing down, X-feed possible and correct

central tank 2 running out of fuel: ENG 2 slowing down, NO gauge slowing down, X-Feed not possible with any other tank
central tank 3 running out of fuel: ENG 2 slowing down, Gauge 2 slowing down, X-Feed ok, BUT if in this constellation I want to feed ENG 2 fro right AUX tank ENG 3 is slowing down.


so maybe some behaviours are no bugs, but I think the most are.
I hope this will help to solve the problems.

It would be very nice if the CS staff can write, if they can reproduce this behavoiurs and if they're able to solve them

Apart from this and small minor bugs a very, very outstanding product. thanks

nice evening, greetings from Berlin

anyone have a problem getting fuel at airports? I cant get it to fill up...they have avgas and jet fuel..i get close and cant get 100 % fuel..


Thanks Brad

nevermind, seems if the radar is active it wont fuel. I shut it down and it filled...I dunno seems ok now :D

What were you trying to do blow up the fuel farm?   ;D

I am having trouble with fsx and fuel.

when i check my fuel and payloading i have a ton of fuel in the Aux and external tanks.

but when im flying and my main tanks go dry I crash...how do i transfer the fuel or use the aux tanks?

make sure the booster pumps are on and the crossfeeds are on as well

figured it out. booster pumps were on but crossfeeds were closed.

thanks
Brad

that nearly did me in once on an approach over water and cliffs in alaska. in the CS C130...i thought, jeez i knew it was going to be tight but not this tight. then i cranked open the x-feeds and it the plane came back to life
