I have found a few minor details that have been erking me.

I will start with the most minor:

In the Ta-152C, I always start with a cold n dark pit. I love to hit the battery switch and hear the gyros spin up. Only in the 152C, even with the switch off, my gyros are already humming when I enter the cockpit.

Ta 152 fuel tanks.

I am a little confused here, I guess with the H model the rear center tank should be removed, but you can adjust the capacity in the fuel and payloads menu? You also need to empty this tank for aerobatics and CG issues. The documentation does not really make this clear. If I set all tanks to full in the fuel and payload menu, there are 4 tanks: left and right wing, forward center and aft center, the cg is definitely aft when the aft tank is full (it has larger capacity) so in both the C and H version there is an aft center tank?

And the last issue: with the Ta 152 C/H the fuel contents gauge cannot be adjusted and it only shows the forward tank. This is unclear to me since the aft center tank has the larger capacity. I understand that the wing tanks capacity cannot be monitored but can I atleast choose between forward and aft center? This would also make sense IF the aft tank had been deleted but ONLY on the H model as the documentation states. As you can see I am a little confused.

I will gladly adjust the aircraft CFG if these issues can be resolved.

Any help appreciated. I hate to nit pick but this bird is just so close to perfection.

Check the 2D fuel panel - there is the switch to choose the fuel gauge content.

Thanks ROB

For the clue, I dont know how many times I have looked at the 2D fuel panel and missed that switch. Well, so that resolves one of my issues.

Solved another one for myself. I just took a self paced crash course on aircraft CFGs. Never touched one before. Went into the CFG for the Ta-152c under electrical I found this line.

electric_always_available = 1

So I changed the one to zero and that was it. Seems alot of my other WOP aircraft have this set to 1 as default.

Sorry if this is trivial for some, I am just slow I guess.

So this leaves the aft center fuel tank on the Ta-152H, but whatever the case may be I can live with it.
