Just added the Mossie XVI and the G4M1 Betty that I forgot about.  I also by multiple requests to add the Nick names of the planes.  Got most of them named as they were in WWII but couldn't find them all.

Just redownload the link for the lastest release.

OK, I am also having requests to add amount of time each plane takes to get to alt (15K approx).  This may be difficult to do as fuel burn will have a effect on how fast a plane climbs due to burning fuel faster or slower and each plane burns it differently at different alts.  This will be very hard to accomplish unless you guys just want a rough estimate.  Please give some feedback on this.

I have been thinking about this and came up with a different request in the end. Scrub the time to 15k request... most people stick to just a few planes and they should be able to figure it out.

How about an air start max-cruise setting range chart? You could list max-range for planes at standard alts... 15k...20k...25k...30k...35k.. . while listing the standard four fuel loads 25% 50%... etc.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

Ok people, I know its been a longtime since you guys have seen me.  I have updated the fuel calculator to the latest and greatest plane set up to 3/1/14.  It is the same link on the first post.  Only the Microsoft excel one has been updated at this time.  Not sure if I am even gonna bother with Open office version.  Plz use only the excel version (first link).  Wonder if we can get this post stickied.

  Dogg,the game now does calculations for fuel in the hanger,depending on the fuel burn settings.It only gives flight time at SL at Mil power so some may still make use of you calculator!

   Just an FYI!

I have always found this to be useful and I even helped with some of these planes. It is true that you don't need to guess at fuel anymore do to the time clock in the hangar, but you can plan missions and act as CiC without ever opening the game in the first place.

This is the reason why I still decided to update it.  Don't have to open the game to plan and create CIC orders.
