Fuel Selectors

[dutch506]

Hi, all!

Gods, what a plane!!! The sound at takeoff power makes one want to stand up and yell!

One minor problem: I try moving the fuel selector levers and they icon states that I am using "Middle and Rear" tanks where ever I move them to.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks much!

Thanks for the compliment on the sound...you can really hear the prop pitch change when you change the prop settings, completely independent of the engine sounds.

What variant are you having the trouble with?

[dutch506]

The A-2/R1

Also, is it just me or is the oxygen consumption rather rapid?

Tried all the variants and could not duplicate your fuel selector problem; the oxygen gage just tracks fuel supply, it's just eye candy. There is no oxygen parameter in FS9.

BTW...this only happens in flight. On the ground the levers work fine

Are you finding that no matter where you move the selector -- fully forward, center, or rear -- that it always says "Middle and Rear"? Because the A-2/R1 does not have a rear position, it only has a forward, middle and rear, and drop tank position (along with cutoff). Take a look at the reference or manual to see how the fuel selectors work, not all planes are the same.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the plane, and it now works great!
