F/A-18 Random Engine Out - Incorrect Fuel sequencing

Okay . . .Thread starter here - we’ve had a bit of a bish Thread Merge here which has put 4 day old Threads ahead of what was happening on this Thread just a few hours ago.

TO CLARIFY;
Raynen has posted an excellent manual fix to the flight_model.cfg if you want to follow that. . .

Raynen’s Manual Fix:

Do this to your .cfg (at your own risk);

“The trick was to create a new junction. Then setup inbound lines from tanks 1 and 4, then outbound lines to tanks 2 and 3. Tanks 1 and 4 feed the junction, then the junction feeds tanks 2 and 3 at the same time. The bugger is trying to schedule the tank 1 and 4 feeds to keep them within about 80gals for CG purposes. I tried setting up triggers to open and close the tank1 valve as needed, but it tends to ignore the trigger and do what it wants.”

AND RoughriderTM has posted his FIX here; (and also, do this at your own risk)

Now - F/A-18 E/F Pilots - report your findings please - and most importantly - report how much fuel you had, AND IN WHAT TANKS the day the Music died. . . i,e; the Engines went out and Report which Fix you were using at the time.

Nice One Centurions.
