Hi, I have an issue with the low pressure warning lights. They don´t extinguish, except when activating the boost pumps. I am not a 100% sure, but from what I know from other aircraft, it shouldn´t need the boost pumps throughout the entire flight. Can you have a look in this?

i just bought this, load it up on runway, then engine 4 shuts down. Mixture 4 leaver stays 3rd of the way up causing no 4 to shut down. even manual start, engine 4 never starts because of the 4 mixture leaver. even ctrl E doesnt start it! very disappointed.

There is another bug with the fuel system. After two succesfull flights today, I cannot start the aircraft with any tank showing any fuel whatsoever. The tanks are of course filled to an extend, but the gauges always show zero. Regardless what I was trying I couldn´t get it to work. Have a lookt at this and fix it in in immidiate update.

Never mind, reinstalling the plane did sort it out for the moment

I fly the c-130 in flight simulator economy where fuel economy is the key.  I found that filling all tanks to full (9800 galls) then doing a short flight of say 50 miles and after i land i find that i have 43 % tanks from 100%.  after a few of these happening i was loosing half a tank after the first flight which in FSE is worth $19,600 dollars.

To solve this i only fill to 50% or 4900 galls and it seems it doesnt register the fuel past 50% and it seems to calculate fuel ok from 50% level.  Its not the FSE client as i tested it with the 2 different clients for FSE for MSFS and I got the same results
