B60 Turbine MSFS Fuel Imbalance
-
What I do just before landing I swap the fuller tank cross feed and balance out the tanks. There is a 40lb difference between the left tank and right tank when full about a 5 gallon difference so if more than that as I said I balance it with the cross feed so both engines are feeding from the same tank to balance but I only do it when I know I have the hight n distance from the airport that in case of engine trouble I can swap back to the other tank or land if need be .

Well the tank that I’m using to feed both engines. As for if it’s the right thing by the hand book then I don’t know but keeping the Plane in balance is the objective.
Out of most of my flight I think I have only had to balance the tanks a couple of times -

I believe I've run into the same issue. With engines not running on the B60T, you fill the tanks to say 50-50, using the tablet or MSFS weight and balance app, but both reflect this difference, and both reports as much as a 6 gallon difference. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the King Air does the same thing. I've the planes sitting on a slope, as it happens at different airports. Is it possible that the config file got messed up. Any thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks in advance -
I'm not sure about the earlier posts in this topic, but the Turbine Duke has different fuel capacities in each wing. Since the MSFS payload interface sliders load the aircraft to a given percentage of fuel, I would expect this difference to show up if you load the aircraft with the sliders. The left fuel system has a capacity of 138.4 gallons and the right has 132.5, which would account for your 6 gallon difference if the sliders were set to 100% for both tanks.
