Title: Re: Fuel Dump
Post by Markoz on Mar 6th, 2011 at 4:36pm
It was funny when it happened as I thought the fuel would take ages (41 minutes) to empty. I turned the dump switches on and "BAM" all the fuel gauge needles went from full to empty. By the time I figured out what was happening, my 707 was as dry as a bone. Zero, zip, nada, no fuel! :-?

What I can't figure out, is why the FSX SDK help files says Percent of fuel that can be dumped per second. So 100/0.0004=250000. My figures of 100/0.04=2500, is 2500 seconds to empty. So why did all my fuel disappear in about 5 seconds?

Oh well. We live a learn. Something HAS to be missing from that equation though. Beats me. ;D
