spit14 fuel bug
« on: July 08, 2009, 07:14:27 PM »
The left wing tank drains fuel 3 times as fast as the right wing tank.

The top tank (labelled NU?) drains as fast as the right wing tank.  The top tank holds about 3 times as much fuel as a wing tank so i'm assuming the left wing tank and NU tank are mixed up.

i filmed a test offline for you to a peek at.  Both are at x2 fuel burn.
