External fuel tanks on the fuel MFD? Fuel select?
« on: January 17, 2009, 11:43:30 pm »
Is it possible to make the extra fuel added from the aircraft.cfg to appear on the mfd fuel page (at the bottom of the screen where it should show the fuel in the external tanks).

The extra fuel appears on the FPAS MFD page but not on the MFD fuel page.  Is it possible to make the extra fuel appear on that fuel page?

Also, is it possible to control which tanks fuel is pulled from?  (fuel feed/fuel select)

Thanks in advance guys

It's not possible to have the external tanks quantity displayed on the mfd, because it hasn't been programmed for this.

It might be possible to activate a fuel selector (the standard one should work), but you would need an hot key (or some joystick buttons) for it, because by default there's no assignement. Look under the Controls section in FSX, and search for all the various Fuel Selector events, and assign a key/joy button to the one you need.
