i must say that i with pleasure will fly on that kind plane with working fuel system .. but its a huge work ..

How about modeling complete electrical and hydraulic systems for each flyable while you're at it!
I keed.
Figured that fixing the fuel tanks would probably be a whole lot more involved than what might normally be, since fuel burn on external tanks has already been addressed (
thx for that, btw).
I'm guessing then that all aircraft in the sim currently have just one fuel tank modeled, either sealed or non-sealed? Like you said, fixing that would mean modelling multiple tanks and placing them at their correct datum for each aircraft, gauging each tank, modeling connections and pumps, cockpit valves. Re-writing the .exe to support all the changes, etc...
Yeah, that is a lot.
