Had to wait till HT fixed the fuel bug in the p47M.  I had it added since the intial release of the P47M, but the fuel bug postponed the update for this,lol. :salute

Open with Xcell and double click with curser just behind the multiplier show at the top. Hit backspace to erase it. Type in the burn rate for FSO or Scinario you want to fly in and hit enter.

Just noticed that the 163 does not change no matter what the multipler- even at .0001 it does not change. No biggie. I'm a glider a lot longer than I'm in powered flight with it anyway. Making it home is sometimes harder than hitting somthing w/o ramming it :O

That is because the fuel burn on the ME163 is not changeable in AH.  Fuel burn for that plane is hard coded in the model.  Even if u set the multiplier to .5, u will still get 5-7 mins at fuel throttle like it was set at 2.0.

Never relised that. TY for clearing that up. I'm thinking had you not known that then the spreadsheet would have given false info when someone changed the burn rate. Good catch.

Very nice but the multiplier value seems to be "protected" when using Open Office....anyone know how to fix this?  :pray  Otherwise I'll have to bite the bullet and buy Excel/MS Office

What if you carry ORD's? Am I missing the application, or what? Not trying to be difficult, honest.

This is a generic fuel calculator based on amount of time of flight with a givin amount of fuel and fuel multiplier.  Ords will not effect time but only the distance you can travel.
