S3 Series

I was ordered to RTB as I had less fuel than everyone else for the 2nd time - not like I am a newbie but my KI43 did not load right - on the way I had 89 gallons of fuel and no damage whatsoever.

Engine just quit with 89 gallons showing and nothing I tried would get the engine fired up and I had some time - didn't panic as I thought I was fine until I started loosing alt to fast - had only one legal choice and that was to try and ditch - blew up trying.

Tried to get jabo's attention to no avail but several said not to worry about it. I knew it would be an issue so I tried a few more times but again no answer. Sure enough the record shows I blew up and no one got credit for kill.

Not going to say anymore than that.

You need to hit the period button several times, some of the aircraft have several fuel tanks and you may have been on one that ran out, even though the other tanks held 89 gallons. I had that issue before, but it showed the gallons in the tank I was on. If you set the fuel to auto select (shows * beside the gallons) it will select a tank that has fuel.

Thanks - I know about that and was trying - since the last update I've been having weird stick issues only in the S3 - eventually I will find out what it is but right now it is frustrating. Both sorties that night I took the same fuel and burned from the same tank but both times I was way lower on fuel and was sent back each time. 2nd time didn't go well

Well, that was my best guess. The other choice is to save your settings in a different folder and delete and reload Warbirds, then paste your settings back. It is a big file, so depending upon your internet connection it can take over an hour or two (I was at a Hotel on their internet and to reload it to my laptop took 3 hours and 15 minutes)

Basically that is why we have lady lucks. The amount of book--keeping for all types of weirdness is just too much. You get a reset but the death still counts against you but hopefully you are not that unlucky and can use a LL every 3 series to remove that one time of bad luck.
