Fuel burn in AH vs real life p-38L
« on: May 22, 2000, 05:59:00 AM »
fuel burn in AH per tank and total
3000rpm(2700rpm indicated bug) 54"MP
full fuel w/ drop tanks in AH 710gal(this figure could be wrong).

External tank1: 13min,10sec
External tank2: 13min,10sec...26min,20sec
Left Aux tank : 8min, 10sec
Right Aux tank: 8min, 10sec...16min,20sec
Left Main tank: 10min,20sec
RightMain tank: 10min,20sec...20min,40sec

AH endurance full fuel and drop tanks: 1hr,3min,20sec.

fuel burn: 673gal/hour (if 710 gal total)
however I came up w 683gal/hr off the 150gal drop tank. (but my math stinks so I could be wrong     )

whats the multiplier in AH?
and does the 2700rpm affect fuel consumption compared to 3000?

Fuel multiplier is x2.5 Citabria, unless it has changed recently.

It was originally x3 when the beta started, but after some "discussions" on the subject it was changed to what it is now.
