Yet Another DP Question...

[Typhoon Willy]

Hi all,

I'm trying to add Thicko's Hurricane drop tanks to Mauro's Hurricane MkIIc Trop. The pylons and tanks are in position, however, when I try to jettison the tanks, only one drops. I referred to Caleb Flerk's tutorial, but still no joy. Here's a portion of the dp:

Thanks in advance for your responses,

DP looks right at a quick look but do you have 2 drop tanks listed in the .air file? You need to have *Fuel External 1 Tank and *Fuel External 2 Tank or only one drop tank will be dropped by CFS2.

Hi Allen,

That was it. I swapped out the air file with another 'Cane that I knew worked with 2 tanks. Thanks very much for your help!

Learned that after hitting my head for an half hour with fitting wing tanks under a A6M3 Model 22 Zero.

Been a couple of hours and my head still hurts!
