Fuel Remaning Calculation


Recommended Posts

Hi Pete,

Is there any way to calculate in FSUIPC 3 the actual fuel weight in pounds as it can be done in FSUIPC 4? Using offset 126C ?

If not... what would be the normal way to do it? I mean Should I calculate every single tank separatly? Is there any offset that says how many tanks does the aircraft has ?

Thanks

Regards

Tomás

Yes, add up the fuel in each tank and use the fuel weight conversion factor in offset 0AF4.

There's a count of the tanks for each engine, but I think those are the ones switched through. I think you just add up all the fuel in al the tanks that have any.

Thanks. I'll try doing that...

Possibly an easier way would be to take the ZFW (offset 3BFC) from the total weight (offset 1334), then also take off the payload weights (using the count at 13FC and the sequence following).

By the way... Im also having some problems getting the G-Force with Offset: 11BA

How can I calculate the G-force like FS shows it? Like 1.0 or 1.5 etc... ?

Im getting numbers like 264.000 etc...

All I know about that is what it says in the documentation -- "units unknown but dividing by 625 seems about right".

Pete
