Public Properties

Capacity	The capacity of the fuel tank.
ConsumptionOrder	The consumption order of the fuel tank.
DragIndex	The drag index of the fuel tank.
EmptyWeight	The empty weight of the fuel tank.
InitialFuelState	The initial fuel state of the fuel tank.
Name	The name of the fuel tank.

Example

Set the Configuration used for the Mission

[C#]

// Get the configuration used for the mission
IAgAvtrConfiguration configuration = mission.Configuration;
// Set the max landing weight
configuration.MaxLandingWeight = 300000;
// Set the empty weight
configuration.EmptyWeight = 210000;
// Update the center of gravity of the aircraft when empty
configuration.SetEmptyCG(2, 0, 1);

// Get the stations
IAgAvtrStationCollection stations = configuration.GetStations();
// Check if there is an internal fuel station
bool hasInternalFuel = stations.ContainsStation("Internal Fuel");

if (hasInternalFuel)
{
    // Get the fuel tank
    IAgAvtrFuelTankInternal fuelTank = stations.GetInternalFuelTankByName("Internal Fuel");
    // Set the capacity of the fuel tank
    fuelTank.Capacity = 175000;
    // Set the initial state of the fuel tank
    fuelTank.InitialFuelState = 125000;
}

// Add a new payload station
IAgAvtrPayloadStation newPayload = stations.AddPayloadStation();
// Set the position of the payload station
newPayload.SetPosition(0, 2, 0);
// Add an external fuel tank
IAgAvtrFuelTankExternal externalTank = newPayload.AddExternalFuelTank();
// Set the empty weight of the tank
externalTank.EmptyWeight = 2000;
