Fuel Dump
« on: July 15, 2008, 04:16:38 PM »
Man it would be nice to dump fuel on lancasters or all planes for that matter.

To lighten up the situation when you are flying and need to lose some weight.

A solution for the problem is: kill shooter. Ask someone to fly overhead, shoot them in the fuel area(s), and hope you hit one of your tanks. :aok

that would be really cool, you click on advanced and your plane goes transparent, showing the fuel tanks position inside the fuselage/wings and their respective loadings. Total weight of your plane would be cool also.

It's a good idea, and it would keep all of the realism freaks happy because real lancs had fuel dump switches.

The only problem with this is that 'fuel dumps' never really came around until the jet era...

Actually Lancasters did have fuel dumps, I had a chance to sit in the Lancaster in Hamilton, Ontario and I did in fact see the fuel dump switch.
