Simple Fuel Management MSFS DC Designs Concorde

I show you how to transfer and manage fuel from take off to touch down.

finally a tutorial which is well explained and easy to understand. thank you. now i got everything working as it is supposed to be :)

Glad it helped. Thanks.

Many Thanks for this pretty clear tutorial 👍🏼

You're also mixing up the normal inlet valves and the Override inlet valves. You only need to open/close the normal valves.

You don't have to transfer fuel this way (the MANUAL way). You can use the automatic fuel transfer by setting your fuel targets and putting the pumps and valves into the AUTO position. It's all in the documentation included with the aircraft.

In reality the The Concorde fuel-transfer system is so amazing. The Concorde fuel-transfer system adjusted the center of gravity and helped to keep the aircraft stable1234. The system moved about 20 tons of fuel backwards to tanks in the plane's tail and wings before takeoff and during acceleration to supersonic speeds. As the aircraft slowed down at the end of a flight, fuel was pumped forward to a tank near the plane's center1. The system had three functions: to supply fuel to the engines, to control the position of the aircraft’s Centre of Gravity (CG), and to act as a heat sink to absorb kinetic heating from the structure and to dissipate heat generated by the air-conditioning and hydraulic systems

Was this an AI response? Concord has 3 main transfer tanks. (9,10, 11) The CG needed to be shifted forward during slow speed. During take off the wings were full. The transfer tanks were in the fuselage. The front tanks (9/10) were generally mostly full on take off. As the speed increased the center of gravity shifted back by draining them. Depending on the flight the front tanks may have only 2000-4000 kg and were sometimes even empty on landing. The front tanks were behind the nose and had no real affect on the cooling. at supersonic speeds the CG needed to be further back so the front tanks were nearly empty.

@@soppingclam Have you looked at the fuel tank map? Their is no fuel in the wiggly nose even though tanks 9 and 10 are commonly referred to as nose tanks.

You absolutely CAN transfer fuel OUT of 5, 6, 7 and 8 if you make a mistake. It's all in the documentation. You can even transfer fuel OUT of 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well.

[@mapolinski]

You also let the CG get outside the limits several times. While there is no penalty in the sim, IRL this would be fatal.

i have colimata concorde and i cant transfer fuel
