Hi, Working on a model for the 747 fuel system. While the system is not overly complex is does require several things to happen to xfer fuel between the tanks (8 total) and cross-feed actions to run the engines from selected tanks based on flight mode and fuel state.
Browsing thru the code it appears all the pieces are there to build the system except for the x-feed valves but that can be work. Since the sim will be providing control over a network; question is which network modules to use; net_fdm or net_ctrls? I'm thinking net_ctrls since the entire FG program will be on a single machine. Then the logic to perform the management of the fuel will be on the cockpit side of the sim along with the fuel control panel. Walking thru the controls.cxx code it appears there are methods to turn on boost pumps, specify engine/tank matches, tank to tank xfers, etc. Are these methods enabled such that all one needs to do is build the hooks into the native_ctrls.cxx module and the fdm (in this case JSBSim) will make the connections to xfer and/or consume fuel for each engine from the appropriate tank or does one have to look at JSBSim.cxx to copy over addtional control elements. Thanks for any help and comments John W. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
