CWT going empty #99

Open oscnogbal opened 3 years ago

oscnogbal commented 3 years ago

Version of the mod

Stable version

Describe the bug

During CWT feeding the CWT goes completely empty immediately To Reproduce

  1. Set fuel on the CWT
  2. Switch ON the CWT override/jettison pumps
  3. See if CWT goes completely empty

Expected behavior

The CWT override jettison pump low pressure comes at around 600kg/1322lb. The rest of that fuel is fed into main tank 2 and 3 so for example it could be simulated that 300kg would go to main tank 2 and the other 300kg would go to main tank 3. This process should take around 1 hour.

Screenshots

References

This is for a 747-400 but it should be the same for the 747-8. Check at minute 23:20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olLiZ7RQpkQ

Additional information Is this bug present in the default 747-8, or only in the mod? I suspect both

The values are 2,000lbs (about 900kg) for the CTR L CTRL R EICAS cautions to come up, then the pilot will reach up and turn off those pumps. That video, the simulator is not accurate, the values when that happens are wrong, even the pilot making that video mentions it..
