New Fuel System - How To Read Tanks

[CougarFool]

Hi,

I'm trying to read the total fuel in an aircraft. It uses the new MSFS [FUEL_SYSTEM] and has eleven tanks (Tank.1 to Tank.11).
Is there a way using the FSUIPCClient to read these please?

Thanks,

Nigel.

Hi Nigel,

I don't know anything about the new fuel system. I assume that you can't get the info via the normal Payload Services class?

Maybe @John Dowson knows something about this. There may be some new offsets, or LVars you can use.

The new fuel system simvars have not been added to any FSUIPC offsets as if these are added, they flood the MSFS console with error messages when using an aircraft that does not use the new fuel system. I did add the new fuelsystem pump simvars to FSUIPC a while ago which produced this error, which can cause stuttering due to the number of messages logged, I therefore removed these by default. and added a new ini parameter NumberOfPumps which can be set to re-enable these offsets.

For the new fuelsystem tank variables, you can add these to spare/free FSUIPC offsets yourself via the myOffsets.txt file (see Advanced User guide for details). If you do this, make sure this file is only loaded/used when you use an aircraft that uses the new fuelsystem.
