External Fuel Tank transfer[Answered]
Hello,
I install the external fuel tanks, whether just one or all three. However when I start the engines, and I select the Center fuel tank to transfer from, but the fuel in the wings still decrease as I see the fuel gauge decreasing. From what I remember the fuel gauge is only suppose to decrease when the external tanks are empty.
How do I transfer from the external tanks instead of the internal tanks?

Re: External Fuel Tank transfer
If you run afterburners, you will drain the wings faster than the external tanks can pump.

Re: External Fuel Tank transfer
Ok so the tanks drain from the external tanks and internal tanks simultaneously then?

Re: External Fuel Tank transfer
Yes. The external tanks are pumped into the internal tanks, not directly into the engine.
