Title: Fuel Dump
Post by: LTCClark 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.

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.

Post by: pokecheck on July 17, 2008, 12:50:16 PM: 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.
