First of all, i love your new flightsim!:D

I want to fly from LAX to JFK.
Is it possible to change any config file so i have more fuel in the tanks?

Thanks

Have you tried making this flight as is? I flew the Delta A320 from the PANC area to KJFK two days ago. I used a 476 kt cruise and had a 6 hr 14 min flight time. 3,030 nm @ FL300.

Regards,
Ray

Afaik fuel is unlimited at this time...?

I have never tried to make a long flight due to below 8000 kgs of fuel in the tanks, and if i remember correct fuel quantity decreases during flight.

On the other hand i have never checked if engines still run with zero fuel indicated, it may well be the case.

I have to do a testflight tomorrow but if you did a 6hr flt it must have unlimited fuel.

6 hours at reduced thrust.

Just finished my testflight. Yes it has unlimited fuel

Fuel on board (fob) after loading the game is 7800kgs.

It consumed fuel down to fob 1500kgs and stayed there for the rest of the flight.

There are no consequences of low fuel at the moment. The cessna can be flown with empty tanks, too... This is just work in progress. The fuel is drawn correctly and emties the fuel tanks but the engine does not check if there is fuel left, so it continues to run as usually.
The actual amount of fuel is set in the .tmd file of the aircraft. It has not mass/interia effects yet (WIP)

Cheers,

Flew from LAX to NY in the F-15E. Full AB the whole flt. (FF confirmed as a WIP;) Can't remember exactly, but it was about 2.5 hours.
