Missing preflight fuel calculator
Jan 3rd, 2017 at 11:48am
Print Post  
as written in C-130 X-Perience Flight Manual Part I Users's Manual page 15 the Preflight tab contains
+ Aircraft
+ Cockpit
+ Fuel
+ Payload
But all descriptions show examples for Aircraft, cockpit and Payload only.
This is the same which I found in the software.
In all cases Fuel is missing.
But I found in the web a picture which schows the Fuel configurator in the Preflight tab
Questions to support answered only to read the manual.
But there is nothing about fuel calculator.
Could it be that this is a special addon?

While the manual Part 1 shows that there is supposed to be a FUEL tab, I've never seen the tab, nor have I ever seen an image that shows a FUEL tab on the C-130 ACE.

Why is it forbidden to upload a picture?

I normally upload my images to photobucket.com, then provide a link in the post. I can't remember the last time I uploaded an image to the Captain Sim web site. Besides that, most times I don't see an option to upload an image  to the web site (yet I can see it at the bottom of this reply I'm typing). Undecided

IMGUR.COM is also very recommended.

Thanks for the images. That's the first time I've seen the FUEL tab on the C-130 X ACE. Where did you find them? I looked on every page of the C-130 X-perience, and never found one that showed it. Undecided

I don't know the link but I found it in the web.
Coult it be that the fuel tab is active in the FS9 Version?

But I think now it is time to ask CaptaimSim. I did it but I receive always the answer to have a look into the manual.  Sad

It is definitely for the Captain Sim C-130 X-perience for FSX, it actually says so on the image! The FS9 version is called the Legendary C-130, an if it included a program like ACE, it's highly likely it would have been called a TCE: Textures and Config Editor, which comes with some of the other Captain Sim "Legendary" products, and not ACE: Aircraft Configuration Editor, which comes with most of their products for FSX.

It is possible that you found a modified image, but I must say that it sure looks authentic to me. Shocked

Sorry. I don't have any suggestions for any next steps.

It is not, and never has been, an issue for me, and I have had the C-130 X-perience since September 2009 (I have only ever had v1.31), and it has never had the FUEL tab in the ACE. I have always changed the fuel in the Fuel and Payload menu without any problems, so if nothing is done about it, I will continue to use the way I have always used it.
