Question about Simmer's Sky airplane packages - sickie103 - 17-07-2011

I have had both the Boeing and Airbus packages for quite some time now but what i found out is that some of the planes cant go as far as they actually
can in real life, there for i cannot fly some routes that i would like to with a certain airplane. For example, the A380 couldn't make it even 5000nm,
but in real life it can go a lot farther than that. Ive tried messing with the fuel in the cfg on my old computer and had most of the planes
realistic, then that computer crashed and i lost all the modifications i had made to the cfgs and do not want to take the time to mess with them
again. My question is, is there a website or a place i could look where i could get modifications to make the airplanes fly farther?

Thanks

I have never encountered a website that has modified .cfg files in that manner. The best thing for you to do is check, and double check the fuel
comsumption rate
and adjust that - there are threads regarding the FSX default 783 about modifying the .cfg so that it flies the correct distance.

sickie,

I've noticed the same thing as well (with most of the aircraft) and the one and only property that I change is the fuel_flow value in the
GeneralEngineData section of the aircraft.cfg file. For my A380, I have it set at 0.79 and, as long as I cruise near the service ceiling (at or above
40,000 feet) with the AP SPD set to M 0.85, I've traveled 5000nm easily. Are you cruising faster than M0.85? That might be why. Also, what model
are you using? In real life, the 800F is designed for a range of only 5.600nm at design load.
