Hi Whitewolf.
Which c130 aircraft are you using,and what fuel did you have to begin with,and in which tanks,what route length,and what positions did you have the fuel valves.
The thing to watch regarding the c130 extra pack,is they do not have external wing tanks,as these models where not done by cs.
regards alan.

just did a short trip seattle to vancouver and did an full IFR ILS approach, full load of fuel on take off and still getting critical fuel warning all the time and having to press control X to refuel

tried turning on all the boost pumps crossfeed and so on and nothing changed- still get same message

im lost, dont know how to solve it, cant fly like this though

Please give us the answer! LOL. I've had this aircraft for a couple of years now and I cant cure the fault. I've just built a new pc and re-installed the c130 and its still the same! I think I'm now going to bin it, shame, I really would like to use it. Using C130 FSX and thats fine.
Hope you can help,
Rick.

Thanks for the reply so666.
The problem is with any of the Hercs in FS9.1 If you go to any airport and load the C130 and start to climb out, you get the critical fuel warning come up. No matter what you do, it will come back again within a couple of minutes. You can check all your fuel in all the tanks via ACE, the fuel menu in FS or the overhead and all looks well, plenty of fuel. It makes no differnce if you have EXT tanks or not too. I think it did this before addind the J as well. I checked the manual (Mines the Just flight C130) and followed the fuel procedures and everything seems ok and set on the overhead correctly.
Any ideas? The plane flies ok and has no problems otherwise.
You cant even turn the warning off either.
Hope someone can help.

Alan,
Thanks for that. I can't find anything on the Just Flight site, mind you, they had a major change of the forum quite awhile ago and the older posts were'nt carried forward. There may have been something there. I bought it ages ago and had the problem and I had a look around and found nothing then so I kind of let it be. Now I've rebuilt the PC I was keen to have a play with it again. Oh, I did patch it to SP1, that made no difference either.
Hope We can find the solution, maybe a quick FS or aircraft cfg hack will do it. I always load fuel manually anyway so I wont miss the message. I know you can suppress the red messages, like brakes, with a .cfg hack, maybe you can with this type of message? Maybe my Flight sim is telling me to stick to my simple aircraft I normally use! I only bought the Herc because I worked, and flew, in them for a few years. It maybe best if I leave it alone, LOL! Brings back too many memories (good and bad)!
BTW, I have the FSX one from CaptainSim and thats fine and rather nice too.
see you soon,
Rick.

Alan,
Thanks for your time.
I've just posted a message for Just Flight and I'll see what they come up with. They're normally very good.
Hope to sort it soon, if I do, I'll post it back here.
See you soon,
Rick.
