Hi,
How is the fuel transfer suppose to work in this aircraft.
We have 3 tanks, and when the centre tank is empty, how do i get the aircraft to use what's in left and right wings, is such a thing possible.
I keep getting a warning about low fuel centre tank, should the fuel automatically then be taken from left and right wings?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Regards

In some of our own panels it's possible to transfer fuel between tanks .... because that's the way they've been compiled "by us". In other panels we offer such is not possible .... because of the way they've been compiled by their original authors and which we've opted not to interfere with. In the case of the DMFS BAC ONE-ELEVEN panels (both of them) though .... I'm not actually sure if fuel can be manually transferred between tanks. AFAIK .... the "fuel tank system" in these panels/simulations operates automatically and as described per the following manual extract .... My interpretation is the Center Tank automatically feeds the Wing Tanks and the Wing Tanks feed the engines. The Wing Tank fuel quantities therefore don't/shouldn't reduce until "after" the Center Tank has first been exhausted. There should be no risk of fuel starvation or consequential engine flame out/s when the Center Tank is exhausted .... although the panel may auto-generate an alert to the effect that the Center Tank is low or empty ... MEANING .... when the Center Tank is exhausted the engines will/should then "automatically" continue feeding from the Wing Tanks and without need of any personal intervention or panel reconfiguration. I don't want to seem like I'm fobbing you off, but, can I refer you (please) to the forum based BAC ONE-ELEVEN manual as follows .... BAC ONE-ELEVEN 200/300/400/475/500/510ED MANUAL tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/thread/9973/bac-eleven-manualIt's just with 2 people "here" down recently with COVID, one of my own daughters still in recovery from COVID too, along with personal ongoing health issues as well, plus (as if the former weren't already enough) I've a colleague caught up the the current Ukraine crisis too (К черту ПУТИНА) .... now's just not a good time for me/FS support-wise. Therefore I'll be attending to product support "as is convenient" for me to do so. This's also ("partly") why the HJG website update is currently late/overdue. Sorry .... but "normality" will (hopefully) resume here ASAP Mark C AKL/NZ
