King Air 350i Version 0.9 Build 90 (RC1)

The MVAMS utility has no max. fuel limit: You can load the tanks with whatever amount of fuel.

Left & right fuel gauges always show main fuel plus aux fuel (up to 1400lb).

When I turn Ext Pwr Switch on and change the overhead selector to Ext Pwr the Volts = 0 and Amp = -60. Am I doing something wrong? I would have thought that I would be able to use Ext Pwr whilst prepping the Aircraft and FMC

Hi,

You need to select GPU on KA350i inflight menu. A voice calling "GROUND POWER UNIT REQUESTED" will play; you have to wait until EXT PWR amber annunciator starts flashing; then move VOLTMETER to EXT PWR position and confirm 28 +/- 0.5 Volts are available. If so, now turn Ext Pwr switch on Pilot's panel to ON.

To remove GPU, first turn Ext Pwr switch to OFF, then select GPU option in menu; a voice callu "DISCONNECT GROUND POWER UNIT" will play, and the GPU will be removed.

Fuel panel...
Selecting aux tanks fuel qty does not work.
Selecting aux fuel transfer over ride appears not to work.

Note: FD now stable in turns.

Fuel Aux bug is fixed. Thanks

Fuel Aux Transfer is not related to Main-Aux transfers, it is an override to force transfer from Aux tanks to nacelle tanks. Engine is feeded only from nacelle tanks. We don't simulate those as they can't be filled externally.

Tomas,
Just reread the fuel system operation again re AUX tanks and for me the light just came on in my mind how it all flows. Thanks for your patience.

Thanks Thomas! I "found" the GPU but hadn't figured out the process (waiting for Amber annunciator light)
