  3. Also, in AN 01-75FJC-1, paragraph 2-11, page 20, Fuel System Management, it states that the normal sequence of fuel tank use is For J33-A-23 engines a. Leading edge tanks for starting, with fuselage tank bypassed. b. after starting, turn on tip, wing, and fuselage tanks with leading edge tanks off. c. Take-off on fuselage tank only, all other tanks off. d. Leading edge tanks for purging prior to stopping engine. For J33-A-35 engines and modified J35-A-23 engines a. All tanks on for starting and taxi b. Take-off on fuselage tank only c. All tanks on after takeoff
  4. I have watched your excellent videos including the interview with the T-33 pilot. However, I think either he misspoke about the fuel system or maybe his bird has been modified in some way. According to the T-33A manual, AN 01-75FJC-1, dated 15 May, 1950, revised 24 April, 1951, the T-33A tip tanks, LE tanks, and wing tanks are fed into the main tank via a set of float valves staged at different heights. This allows the main tank to draw from the tip tanks first, LE tanks second, wing tanks third, and finally the main fuselage tank. Fuel does not vent overboard if all the tank pumps are selected on (see diagram figure 1-3, page 5). According to figure 2-1, page22, As the fuselage tank level drops, the float valves open in succession until all the tanks are emptied. The suggestion is to turn "off" the pump for a specific tank as it's respective low fuel alert light comes on. Another interesting note is the use of 100/130 gasoline in the LE tanks used for starting and purging during shutdown. I hope you guys continue to update this bird. She looks and flies amazing. Sincerely, Patrick "Zeagle" Duncan
  5. A WWII pilot would be nice if you guys could do one. Even the modern flyers such as Kermit Weeks and others dress the part when doing airshows.
  6. Hi guys, I absolutely love the P-40! Great Job! Please keep updating the aircraft. This is an aircraft that is very special to me and many others. We appear to be missing the emergency gear extension system which should be installed in the F. Kermit Weeks and Jeff Ethel both describe the emergency extension system in various P-40's. Also, we do not appear to have any control over external lighting such as nav lights, landing lights, and signal lights unless I am just missing something. It could be me. I only have a few hours in the airplane so far. Anyway, great job. I really like the integration of the modern radios and transponder. Very nice indeed.
  7. I figured out the drop tank issue. But I still cannot show the engine. I have both the marketplace and the iniBuilds download versions.
  8. Hi guys, I love the P-40! I bought the marketplace version. My tablet does not allow me to remove the cowlings to expose the engine. I cannot get a drop tank. Is this normal for the marketplace version or do I maybe have a problem on my end?
