A little bug in the fuel system?

Hi,

today I bought the boxed version of the Catalina and I am really impressed! What a wonderful aircraft :)

But when I switch on the fuel pumps the fuel pressure rise even if the tank selector and the mixture lever are in the off/cut off position. Is that correct? I already searched in the forum for this issue but didn't found anything so I thought I better ask :)

Thanks again for this beauty!

Greetings

Tim

Mixture levers does not affect fuel pressure.

In the default FSX aircraft and most other addons, there is a bug that places the fuel pressure sensor after the mixture, that is a bug, wich has been fixed in the Catalina.

If the fuel is cut with the fuel selectors set to Off, fuel pressure should drop, otherwise You have found a bug.

Hi Finn,

thanks a lot for your reply! :)

Well, at least on my system this does not happen. The fuel selectors (and the shut off valves) are switched to off. But as soon as I switch on the fuel pumps, the fuel pressure does rise:
