I would think that the main tank is the one we all want to have filled first. Simply put it is the tank that is an integral part of the COG of nearly aircraft modeled in the game. All the other tanks can be set as you said to burn first in manual mode and I know I would prefer that instead of having the game engine decide which one I want to burn first.

So I vote for fill the main tanks first then auxilliary and last the wing tanks.

Wmaker, the sequence is not realy automatic, it is selected purly based on the current CG of the plane, i.e. we don't set the order of draining.

Pyro, I don't have time at the moment, but I will do a lil putzing around and post some requests when I get home from work tonight.  Thanks for giving us this opportunity :)

Cool!

Sure didn't know that!

I've always wondered why in some planes it changes the tanks in so rapid order, makes perfect sense now. :)

Please make the P47 tanks filled like the P51 - main tank first and only then the Aux. tank.

Manual selection would be nice though. I like leaving about 1/8 in the Aux in case the main tank is hit, or I estimate the distance wrong. Burning 75% of the aux is a long time.

Bozon,

You can already manually scroll through the tanks and select the one you want. The default key is shift-f.

Thats sounds good, the F key is easy enough to hit :). I do think that those planes with wing tanks should have the wing tanks filled last.

I meant when loading the fuel, not inflight.

I'm not positive the total amount of fuel will equal with these proposed tank switches (each tank holds a diff amount).  Just ballpark figures:

P40B/E[list=1]75%
Main 100%
Fuselage - 25%
Aux - ?*

*Not sure if a full Aux tank would match the difference of fuel from Fuselage tank decreasing to 25%.

50%
Main - 75%
Aux - 75%
Fuselage - 25%

25%
Main - 50%
Aux - 50%
Fuselage - 0%[/list]

and ditto Fork's Fw190, 202/205, Bf110, A6M5B, A6M2, Ar234, D3A1, Ju87, Ju88, Ki61, Ki67.  

**I'll also throw in the Mosquito - fill LA/RA tanks last.  And the F4F/FM2 - Aux last.

Aux tanks last, wing tanks last, Aft tanks last and I'm a happy man :D

Whatever amount is in an aux tank (exception, P40, fuselage) - throw it into main tanks :)

Thanks a lot HTC :)

same as already said:
Ta152 and 190 tanks filled in this priority: fwd-most first and aft-most after, then wings, as late as possible.

Same with the 262, forward tanks before rears.

Thanks again :D

Changed how fuel is loaded when selecting less than 100% on the 190's, 202/205, P40's,
F4F, 234, and 262.
