Does 1 Fuel Leak drain All Tanks?

[6./ZG26_Klaus_Mann]

Question in the Title. IRL it doesn't, but I just had an occurence of one Tank Leak, but I lost all of my Fuel.

This also happens in IL 2 mod 42 too.

IRL it can do if the plane has no way of stopping fuel flow from 1 side to another (not all have crossfeed and fuel control.)

Both tanks feed both engines simultaneously also many system are auto balancing
so a leak in either tank can drain entire system unless you fly tilted

@topic: Yes.

 

You missed the point shadow. If you are flying a yak and get shot on the right wing, it should leak only the right tank, but what happens ingame is that both tanks get drained, even if you dont get shot on the left wing. Thats true for all planes.

Han has said that they will one day add external fuel tanks and advanced fuel systems.

 

2 weeks, be sure.

Yes as far as i know, there's a basic fuel system at the moment, and it is in the plans to improve it.

[Finkeren]

Yep, this is on the to-do list. Individually modeled fuel tanks and (perhaps) selectable fuel tanks as well.

IIRC Han said that selectable Fuel Tanks and complex fuel managment will be added later in development
