Hi Scott, More than one fuel tank with fuel in it at startup ? If that's the case, you want to set priorities, with lower being the first tanks to empty. it's done with priority tags in the tank definition in the jsb config file. Or set all tanks but one to 0 content and then fill them up after

I believe the problem is that the new fuel tank priority code doesn't deal correctly (yet) with the case of multiple non-empty tanks at startup, throwing it into an infinite loop. As I said, not quite clearly, on the fgfs list, you have to set priorities, with lower numbers going first, and higher

First, I'll say I'm not a developer and do not have a full understanding of this problem. Should the autopilot be a separate process that just basically inputs pilot commands? IE. turn at the same physical rate possible? I believe the autopilot is another subsystem, and most (I'm not 100% sure
