I was just out flying the Fw 190 F-8 again and, whilst performing a manoeuvre in inverted flight, I immediately got the message: Low fuel supply. And that happened several times.
Excuse me? This thing doesn’t have carburettors – it has direct injection.
Who installed this bug last night?
Hi Grumpy, Strait of Hormuz is currently having issues. FW 190 is on fuel rations.
Cheers
If you fly inverted for an extended time (but not too long… maybe 15 seconds?) you’ll get a fuel starvation warning. I think this is modelling fuel pickup from the tanks.
(I know you said it was immediate but perhaps it just felt that way if you were maneuvering)
It happens on lots of planes, and even jets (maybe all planes?). It’s not the same thing as, for example, the Spitfire with it’s float carburetor failure message.
