any chances of a FSE fix/plugin? i really like this c-47 over justflights and would love to be able to use it with fse so i can switch to the two "center" auxillary tanks.
You could have asked in the FSE forum and you would have got this... it's a work-around.
Manfred Jahn's (Sim Outhouse) fuel transfer system is not compatible with the FSE client, the lower gauges and the transfer system DO NOT work with the client.
The fix below will still require you to "manually" move the fuel in the FSX fuel menu. But otherwise the client will load and calculate the correct amount of fuel.
When your low fuel lights on the upper panel come on, or with ver 3.214 and the vintage VC, you'll need to watch the fuel gauge, pause, go to the fuel menu and swap the 4 sets of numbers you see there. Move the low numbers to the slots where the high numbers are and visa versa, make sure to not change the total amount of fuel. Go back to the cockpit, un-pause and your upper fuel guage will read full again, which means you can now use the remaining 400 gallons and continue flying.
Copy & paste the fuel configuration below in your aircraft.cfg
[fuel] // AMM TCDS 6a2
// standard fuel tank config: 804 gal
LeftMain = -20.04, -4.0, -2.5, 202.0, 4.0 // left fwd center
RightMain= -20.04, 4.0, -2.5, 202.0, 4.0 // right fwd center
center1= -22.99, -4.0, -2.5, 200.0, 9.0 // left aft center (aux)
center2= -22.99, 4.0, -2.5, 200.0, 9.0 // right aft center (aux)
//tanks set with same distance fwd/bwd at main spar
// additional R4D8 wing tanks: 822 gal
// LeftTip= -22.68, -17.0, -2.1, 411.0, 2.0 // left outer wing
// RightTip= -22.68, 17.0, -2.1, 411.0, 2.0 // right outer wing
This does not work with the client i have. Ive tried.
You need Nick's fix using Doug Dawson's 64 bit gauge.
