    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

DC Designs F-14 A/B Tomcat is OUT

Hi BF,

I think that can be done in the weight/fuel section of the plane before starting the flight.

Cheers,

Checked the manual, nothing in there about removing the external tanks.

EDIT: you could try commenting them out in the flight_model.cfg file?

I just tried on my system, and removing the fuel from the external tanks makes them disappear.

Have you checked if there's fuel appearing in the tanks after you load the flight? I've had a few instances (on various airplanes) where MSFS will add fuel to a tank I emptied on the preflight menu, but removing the fuel from the in-flight menu makes them go away when that happens.

Also, check if you've got the latest version, since an MSFS update may have broken something with that working on an older version of the plane.
 
Thank you all...checked manual before as well, found nothing and that´s why asked for help. Fuel at zero all tanks and still there although I´ve seen photos in MSFS of planes missing them...no worries...
cheers
 
Isn't there also some difference between the A and the B variants, like the tanks could only be removed on the A because it made no sense to remove them on the B variant ? I though I had read something like that in some discussion, but I may be confusing with another aircraft...
