In a plane with multiple fuel tanks, manually switch to one of the tanks. When it empties the engine keeps going and your plane stops using fuel.
I tried this in an F4U-1 and P-51D. I assume it works for all planes with multiple fuel tanks.
-
Yep..I flew a %25 fuel yak around for over an hour today..As long as you select fuel tanks,it wont run out..
-
same thing here, long as u switch to manual and leave it, if you put it back on auto it will run out........
tested it 4 times..............
-
Noticed the same thing earlier in a F4U-1. Weirdness.
-
OK I did some testing in the Main and found several things
These Planes you can up 25% fuel switch to LW or RW and fly forever.
LA5
LA7
110G-2
P47D-40
P51-D
Hurri II
P38
Yak9T
F4U-1
Now I have not tested all the planes that have wing tanks
But are you ready for this ............
Get a Plane with 25% fuel and a DT....... Manual over to DT and drop it while staying on DT ........... and you will continue to Fly
Planes tested are the
P47D11
109G10
190D9
I will check all the 109 and 190 series planes and let you know
But as far as it looks if your plaane can carry a DT you can do this .
-
not with a ki84 it seems. took 75% fuel, flew around, left fuel selected on the center tank as it ran dry in the end. engine stopped.
-
ok heres an update after flying ALL the planes this is what I found
These Planes were not affected by this fuel bug .
202
205
109E4
P40-B
Seafire II
Spit V
ME262
ME163
These Planes were upped with 25% fuel and switched to Manual Fuel Select and their Eng. Died
Now as for all the other planes I upped with 25% fuel and switched to Manual LM, or RM, or BTM , RA or simply Upped with 25% fuel and a Drop tank , once on RR Manual Switch to External , backspaced to External pressed secondary button to release DT and flew with fuel guage showing on external.
Gonna Be funny seeing nothing but the 8 Planes Listed in the MA due to fuel problems with the others
And one note to all who knew about this and exploited it , your day has come to an end .
And to Gryffin ... I Thank you for noting this and not exploiting it
You sir deserve a 6 month Free Membership to AH :aok
And HT ....... YOU OWE ME FOR 1 JELLY DOUGHNUT !!! :rofl
-
B24 does the same, switched to a tank that was leaking, it ran out and carried on regardless
wipass
-
Too bad a lot of people decided to try to abuse this bug last night in the arena.
ack-ack
-
Bf109F4 is not affected by this bug except for the DT issue.
-
This has made an impact on the MA already... please tell me a patch is coming no later than Tuesday.
-
unfortunatly I really dont want to fly in the MA anymore due to this , not saying that everyone will be doing it , but you just dont know who will exploit it to their advantage cause its the only way they can get a kill
-
I am sure they ( HTC ) will squander this bug fast! ( hope so ), and anyhow, unless you fly timid :p you timid flyers know who you be! :rofl
you be long out of ammo or near it before fuel ever plays a role in the rtb scenario! least that is how it is with me, I just tested it when I heard about it, took for ever to run most of the tanks dry then use the empty one !
no worries JB35, you can kill most of them when you are near 100% fuel and they empty! don't sweat it :D
-
Hurri IIC is affected by the bug also, tested it tonight with the DT's.
-
Squash this one fast guys, people are exploiting it all over the place :(
-
So instead of keeping it quiet and reporting it, you decide to tell exactly how to do it and what planes it can be done in.
-
well, who cares if someone has to use a crutch to try and win?
we do not know how long this has ben here, and if one person knows or a handful, then all should...........
besides, my ammo runs out way before any fuel does or I die before it does one.....
bet alot of the ones that knew about it and kept it quiet are really squirmin in their seats now because they feel like they are back on the same level turf? you reckon? ;)
-
very true lol
I'm just saying that if some people were worried about it being exploited it might have been slightly wiser to just report it and wait for the kill patch
-
Fuel bug works as long as you have 2 tanks. The second one can be a DT. You must switch to Main tank manually and drop the DT and stay on the main, do not switch it.

Personal attack

This is not the O'Club. It is the "Bug Report" forum. If you have a bug, then report it, otherwise keep your personal attacks to yourself.

How do the O'club and a personal attack have anything to do with eachother?
