hallo,
there are few things that i am not understading:
-the manual says that the fuel capacity of a dc8-61 is about 161.000 lbs , but in fs i can load about 100.000, why? (had to abort a flight of about 5000 nm due to acars said lack of fuel!)
-there's the possibility to add the civa ins to such model?
Thanks in advance

Start an issue in the tracker or email Luke Kolin. He's the guru of all things 4-engine here. smile

I use the aerosim model, but it runs out of fuel after 3.000 nm. Is it normal?
