hallo guys,
sometimes i use the dc8 from aerosim, that shows on acars a fuel flow of about 41.000 lbs on climb and about 25.000 lbs on cruise.
Well, it looks unreal! as well watching the acar's data of the pilots that use the fleet one, i see that the fuel flow it's about the half of mine.
So, my dc8 cant fly 4.000 nm, while the others do it!
Any comment will be appreciate.
Cheers.

Aerosim may have set the FFR too high. You can adjust this in the aircraft.cfg for the model (look for "fuel flow"). It'll take some tinkering to get it right though.
