  1. Selecting a NAVAID on the MSFS EFB enables it's frequency to be set in the aircraft NAV1 radio, this works for the 1011 but doesn't change the displayed frequency on the panel. Changing a digit using either knob on the panel causes the displayed frequency to snap to the correct one.
  2. Fuel Tank2 Left and Right Inboard tanks are positioned at the same lateral offset as the outboard tanks. They should be between the Outboard and the Tank1/Tank3 tanks, approx 38 feet from the centreline works ok. This causes problems for external applications that load fuel tanks via simconnect etc whereby the wrong tank gets loaded. The overlaying of the tanks can be seen in the attached screenshot (ignore the Right-hand tanks being shown on the left wing, this is an MSFS bug to be fixed in SU5)
  3. 'Fixed' the problem with a small mod that deactivates the outboard fuel tanks, which I don't need anyway. Now all remaining tanks are mapped correctly.
  4. Some external applications such as OnAir and FSEconomy may read the Wing tanks incorrectly. The wing tank positions are reversed by a fraction on the two wings which doesn't affect normal usage of the aircraft in any way but does break the external clients. When the old [FUEL] tank names are used to read [FUEL_SYSTEM] tanks over Simconnect they are converted by MSFS by lateral offset and are coming out wrong. The Tristar INBD and OUTBD tanks are at the same lateral offset by design but probably when converted from floating point to decimal for the flight_model.cfg you get a very long and almost random decimal fraction and the tanks have ended up being reversed. The example screenshots show the fuel loaded into the Tristar and the fuel that is reported to the external client - the Tip tanks show the Left Inboard and the Right Outboard. The fix would be to edit the tank positions so the inboard tanks are slightly nearer the centreline, just by an inch.
