This THREAD started as a question about Engine’s quitting BEFORE fuel Starvation of all Fuel Tanks and has since become a THREAD to address that issue and re-author the FUEL_SYSTEM Section in the Flight_model.cfg. of the F/A-18. So, dive in and lend a hand. Original First Post left for reference. …

Here’s a fix while I work on compiling/uploading into a more user friendly F/A-18E Fuel System Adjustment 1.01 Release Notes: Removed unused references to B748i fuel system Added Feed Tank Fuel Line -Connected Tank4 to Feed Tank Input Line -Connected Tank2 and Tank3 to Feed Tank Output line I…

Well done Guys. A good discussion. I’ve had such a great time today - out of Valley (courtesy of superspud and skell) in North Wales just practicing, practicing and practicing AOA Approaches. Tricky but doable and far easier now you know you haven’t got impending Fuel Doom!

I haven’t yet read this loooong thread (if I read all the details!) I got the left engine to quit several times. Video below. Not sure exactly when it quit; around minute 13 or 14. I felt a lack of power at 14, and I show at 14:30 the engine is out. Is it a protection measure to avoid getting too…

You should read the long thread, because contained within it is a fix to the bug you described!

So it IS a bug! Another bug! What causes it? I don’t really want to modify some text files, because what happens when FS starts, will it see some F18 files were modified, re-force a download of the original files, then I am back to square one? What do I need to do to avoid the engine quitting? N…

Ah thank you. I had just found it and finished reading, but I read a bit in a rush: Does this mod give a separate improved F/A18, or a new one separated. Sorry, I am slow to type; I lost the left hand in an accident. I see details/typos, but typing takes all my neurons!

It effectively upgrades the existing F/A-18E in the sim. It would not appear as a separate entry, still learning how to make that happen.

I also found this: an improved new F/A18. I haven’t installed it. Just finding stuff about that jet… Do you know it? https://flightsim.to/file/23760/f-a-18-super-warrior
