No Fuel in Tip Tanks

[snpower]

Greetings,

I am unable to use the tip tanks; when loading a new scenario in the C310 the mains read about 80 gallons, and the tips empty. Accessing the Fuel and Payload menu lets me go to 100% for the mains... but that is all. I must be missing something?

Happy New Year

Well... I looked at the aircraft.cfg file, and this is what I have:

[fuel]
//normal fuel capacity is 163 gals.
LeftMain = -0.5, -15.00, 0.0, 51.0, 1.5
RightMain = -0.5, 15.00, 0.0, 51.0, 1.5
External1= -1.4, -3.45, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0
External2= -1.4, 3.45, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0
fuel_type = 1 //Fuel type: 1 = Avgas, 2 = JetA
number_of_tank_selectors = 2
electric_pump=1

I know that isn't what it is supposed be (empty tips by default)... I guess I can just put in the correct value of 32 gallons each and go from there (he asks, rhetorically)

Sorry for the tardy response. We are investigating and will get back to you as soon as we can.

No worries. Just pleased I had sense enough to investigate on my own!

The [fuel] configuration is incorrect. The original release of the C310R had this for the configuration:

Code: Select all

[fuel]
//normal fuel capacity is 163 gals.
LeftMain  = -0.5, -15.00, 0.0, 51.0, 1.5   
RightMain = -0.5,  15.00, 0.0, 51.0, 1.5
External1=    -1.4,  -3.45, 0.0, 32.0, 0.0
External2=   -1.4,   3.45, 0.0, 32.0, 0.0
fuel_type = 1                                //Fuel type: 1 = Avgas, 2 = JetA
number_of_tank_selectors = 2                    
electric_pump=1

Note that the last two parameters are total capacity, unusable qty.
The two External (tip) tanks have 32 gal capacity, and 0 unusable qty.

That's what I thought - and is fixed. Not sure why it was at zero, since I'm not one to poke around the cfg files... but glad it is resolved. Thanks!

Thanks for the confirmation on the fix. Now it needs to be made to the installer's aircraft.cfg to fix the issue permanently. I have no idea whatever how it got changed. I've added that to Mantis for Chuck's attention.
