I just bought the complete C130 pack and already I am disappointed with it. The engines die when that engines tank is empty whenever I go to full screen from window mode, and the modern panel dont work right.
I was told that with the v1.3 it shouldnt do that. I had the demo model installed before and uninstalled it and installed the licensed copy.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled everthing by captain sims book and It still will not work.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you.

Hi.

the modern panel dont work right
Use ACE to add the EICAS Gauges to your C-130's. You must to do this for each aircraft that you want to use them in and click on SAVE before moving to the next one.

If you are using FSX at the time of the change, you will still see the Classic panel, but the gauges will be black. The reason this happens is because the interior model and the panel.cfg are changed, but you won't see the EICAS until after you restart FSX. You can't change the model in use while FSX is running, because it holds onto the model that was first loaded into FSX and doesn't let it go until after it is exited. This does not apply to the exterior model, only the interior model. In other words you can add or remove the external fuel tanks and all you need to do is reload the C-130!

The engines die when that engines tank is empty whenever I go to full screen from window mode
I can switch from Windowed mode to Full Screen mode with some tanks being empty without it causing any engines to shut down. Maybe it has something to do with the position of Boost Pump Switches and Crossfeed Valves.

I have provided a screenshot of my Lower Overhead Panel with the Fuel Boost Pump Switches and Crossfeed Valve settings, and what has happened because of the way they are set.



Engine #1
Fuel Tank #1 is EMPTY. Fuel Boost Pump for Tank #1 is OFF. Crossfeed Valve for Engine #1 is OPEN. Engine #1 is running because fuel is being fed to it because the Crossfeed Valve is OPEN. The Low Pressure Warning Light is ON.

Engine #4
Fuel Tank #4 is EMPTY. Fuel Boost Pump for Tank #4 is OFF. Crossfeed Valve for Engine #4 is CLOSED. Engine #4 is NOT running because fuel is NOT being fed to it because the Crossfeed Valve is CLOSED. The Low Pressure Warning Light is OFF.

If I was to OPEN the Crossfeed Valve for engine #4, I could restart it and it would run fine.

Try this then.

1) Load the C172, make it cold and dark except for the Avionics Master Switch. Leave it ON
2) Make sure the fuel selector is set to ALL.
Now the C-130 (of your choice) and see if that works.
