Forgot to fill your tanks? :-} Seriously, it's running out of fuel in tank[0], and for some reason doesn't use the other tanks, which remain filled up. Looks like a bug in fuel management. It's not directly a software bug. More a problem in the simulated hardware. You, as a test pilot, have to cope with that. :-) I'm sure our Concorde engineer reads that and fixes it. Appreciate your and the other person's trying to help. But please, what does this (below) advice mean? Bear in mind that the typical windows user doesn't use command line; and that the graphical interface, AFAICT, doesn't allow fuel to be set. Quote "to have full tank add this to your command line =2D-prop:sim/presets/fuel=3D1" Q1: How do I do this? (Precisely exactly how do I do this) Quote: "take a look at $FG_ROOT/Aircraft/Concorde/readme" I did that, and in:- \FlightGear\data\Aircraft\Concorde\ReadmeConcorde-jbsim.txt - all I can find of relevance is: "set /sim/presets/fuel to 1" Great -- EXCEPT there is *no* file I can find which allows that setting :-( PLEASE could someone please assist this newbie, preferably someone who uses windows or at least is familiar with it.
