Fuel in winglets and wings doesnt get used

[DesertCookie]

Hey there. Following problem: I edited some parts config to add fuel (later on with Interstellar Fuel Switch) but fuel in wings doesnt get used. All other edited parts as nose cones for example work!

Yes, I added fuel before starting. But I didn't tried to acess the fuel with ALT+right klick.

Here's some code:

@PART[wingConnector2]:Final
{
  @cost = 530
  @mass = 0.19
  @fuelCrossFeed = true
  RESOURCE
  {
    name = LiquidFuel
    amount = 0
    maxAmount = 45
  }
  RESOURCE
  {
    name = Oxidizer
    amount = 0
    maxAmount = 55
  }
}

...and here's the mod.

Thanks for all help!

Does the "Big-S Delta Wing" work for you? Does it do the fuel transfer as expected?

I'm asking, because that one is stock, and it seems you remembered to add "@fuelCrossFeed = true" which in theory should do exactly what you want.

This is not true.  Radially attached parts such as wings do not provide fuel to their parent part nor do they take fuel from their parent part for rocket engines (unless you set stack_PriUsesSurf in Physics.cfg to True).  They will provide fuel to jet engines as these use a different fuel flow mode which ignores how the parts are attached and their fuelCrossFeed settings.

You will either have to change the value in Physics.cfg, run a fuel line from the wing to the body or use the CrossFeedEnabler mod (and add the module to your wing parts).

Makes sense, I've only used wings for monopropellant and liquidfuel for jets. Both ignore normal fuel flow.... That must be why I didn't notice that they do not provide fuel flow for the parent part. Well TAC Fuel Balancer is a great mod for fuel balancing needs
