I found time this afternoon to refresh my memory about how the fuel stuff works.
The FDM reads these properties to determine the amount of fuel in each tank. YASim uses this only for computing the inertia tensor and total aircraft mass, it doesn't care about "fuel" per se. /consumables/fuel/tank[n]/level-lbs The FDM reads the following boolean property to determine whether to kill an engine: /engines/engine[n]/out-of-fuel The FDM *adds* to this property to contain a running total of fuel consumed for each engine. If it currently has a value of 7, and this timestep 4.2 lbs of fuel were consumed by this engine, then it should be set to 11.2. /engines/engine[n]/fuel-consumed-lbs And that's it. Everything else related to fuel, including user-configurability of tank selection and/or filling, is handled by the nasal script/gui for you. IMHO, it's really about as simple for the FDM as is possible.
