starliner question

[cheezyflier]

today i went from ksea to ksfo. as i was taxiing to parking after touch-down i lost engines 2 & 3. maybe i shouldn't have ignored the low fuel warning lights.
turns out, when i parked and checked the tanks, this is what i had:

left - empty
center - full
right - empty
center 2 - full
center 3 - full
external 1 - 57.2%
external 2 - 57.2%

how can i make it draw from all the tanks at the same time? for that matter, how do i work the tanks in the first place? i looked in the documentation but it doesn't say. is there a "starliner tank management for dummies" somewhere? i plan to take it to honolulu so i am gonna need to learn this.

I always thought the external fuel was used first, followed my the outboard tanks, then center tanks, or somethin' like that.
You didn't accidently have any fuel dump switches tripped?

Hi

I am the FDE designer(among other duties)

Like in real Starliner you have to switch the tank levers on the FE panel

Hope this helps for the next time
