Hiya Mike
This is an old one for me too.. bought it last year. It doesn't get flown much.. due in part to the fact I spend a lot of my time flying to and around ships but it does get flown.. usually long distance. If I fancy going somewhere different but don't have a great deal of time.. say Geneva to Wunstorf or Culdrose to Gib.. this fits the bill perfectly. Believe it or not.. I think that's the first time I've ever loaded bangers. My usual choice is tip tanks.. for obvious reasons
As with everything else on this model.. even the use of tip tanks is correctly programmed. You can load such things on a host of other models and they just work.. in default FS mode. With the Starfighter, they don't.. you have to switch them online and keep an eye on their levels. When they reach a pre-determined level, you have to switch the pumps off and go to main tanks. Failure to do this will see you flying very quietly and very quickly to mother earth
Many of the instruments require RTFM in order to operate them and I've not done a great deal of that
Under the circumstances.. it's a wonder I've managed to get anywhere in it
It's fun though and that's what it's all about
