Blenheim Fuel Cock .......

Walshy · #1 06-30-2011, 05:03 PM

Have tried everything to get the two fuel cocks to operate for takeoff, no joy at all. I even tried binding keys to operate the bloody things and no joy at all. I'm trying to learn flying the Blenheim with full CEM, when I hover my mouse over both the fuel cocks the pointer changes to a hand but when i click to operate the fuel cock it just doesn't move. Losing my patiecence and hair at a fast rate of knots!!!! Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or is there something else that I'm missing perhaps ...........

You are using Keycommands to toggle fuelcock #1 (left engine) AND fuelcock #2 (right engine)?
And have an eye on the engine temperature (the gauges above the fuelcockwheels), they have to bee 200 degrees before you can give throttel , just in case

Did you manage it? For me I've only ever had to click them both and that was that. Never had to keep clicked and move the mouse around like for radiators or somesuch.

On this subject... anyone know what the third fuel cock is for?

Also, Walshy, the Crosscountry mission is particularly hard for takeoff because of cross-winds. You might want to set up your own mission or fly online

Good luck, and let us know if you have any problems!
