Fuel Calculator

I been working on this for a few weeks and I finally finished it.  Enjoy!

Thanks AKDogg. Will be quite useful.. Thanks for sharing with the community sir  .

Now that is COOL. TY

[Bino]

Very nice.  Thanks!

That is very slick. Thanks for all the hard work. 

[AKDogg]

TY all.  Don't break it, hehehe

Thats great work.  May i suggest that you should add ords to them.

Do you mean for flight time?

Ord adds weight and if external they add drag as do the hard points even after the ord is expended. This reduces range but at full throttle your gallons per hour usage remains the same.

According to the E6B as long as you are at full power, at the same alt and with the same fuel load your flight time remains the same with ord, without ord or sitting still with the breaks on.

A range calculator would be nice, but I can think of 7 variables that would have to be considered and I may have missed some. I'm thinking that because many missions back then were to the limits of their aircraft's range, they got real good with pencil and paper.

works great, thanks

Only way to get a range calculator is through HTC because they have all the data for each plane's fuel consumption for any given alt,manifold pressure, and rpm etcc. as each plane is different.  Actually the only way I could make this calculator u ask for is fly every single plane and right it down for every situation like ord, fuel load, wind, rpm setting, manifold setting and altitude.  Hate to tell u this, it not gonna happen anytime soon,lol.

Thanks Alot !

I would never ask you to do it.  It would be your time to take away from shooting me down.

That is awesome!!   

Thanks for doing that Dogg.

I should have mentioned that we already have one in the E6B. Better than what they had in the 40s. It updates in real time where as they had to use scratch paper when their flight altered from the plan.
