Wow I appreciate this explanation.  I think I have figured out the problem here lol..it's me!  Like I said I'm not a real pilot but I really do enjoy learning complicated systems and figuring them out.  In saying that,  this plane for me is to complicated and fuel management intense.  It obviously works fine I just personally have a hard time with it.  This product is awesome and I'm not bashing it at all, I think this is just a plane that is not suited for my style.  To be honest I didn't realize that a planes fuel system could be so exactly duplicated, bravo.  As far as the B-52 I'll keep that in the B-52 threads(was just saying that I'm having the same problems).  So anyways there you go, do you like realistic fuel systems or not. Does it take away from the game's fun experience or add to it.  I guess it comes down to understanding what you are buying before you buy it.
