Fuel tanks anyone? :) (Read 439 times)

Hi all, I'd like to modify my Rans S-7 for a round-the-world sightseeing tour. I'd like to put a 25 gal fuel tank in place of the rear seat, but seem to be unable to get the aircraft.cfg file to recognize a center tank. Can someone help me out please?

thanks

Are you calling it: center1?

[fuel] center1 = -4.1, 0, -.8, 27.0, 2.0 //Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons) LeftMain = -4.1, -7.9, -0.8, 47.5, 3.0 //Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons) RightMain = -4.1, 7.9, -0.8, 47.5, 3.0 //Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons) fuel_type = 1 //Fuel type: 1 = Avgas, 2 = JetA number_of_tank_selectors = 1 electric_pump=1

(Note - this is the Mooney fuel section from the aircraft.cfg (*FSX*) with the center1 tank added - no guarantee is made that such a combination does no affect the COG, etc. etc.
