ddavid 149 Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Many thanks, Kieran - but how many gallons of fuel did you use?!? : Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 About 79 gallons, FSX style (couldn't find the conversion ratio online, so it's 532.43 / 6.7 = 79.467164179104477611940298507463 gallons) Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Thanks, Chuck - beats me how you get it so accurate without a slide-rule... Looks like I'll fly Leg 3 for Team-Mutley, can you do Leg 4, please? I'll try squeezing a few arms, but I'm not sure that will work. Maybe I'll have to get The Boys in to help with recruitment!

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Sure, I'll do Leg 4 Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 ...beats me how you get it so accurate without a slide-rule... Now that's funny... Maybe I'll have to get The Boys in to help with recruitment! Not sure who that would be there, but here it implies "Uncle Guido", wearing a black shirt, yellow tie and carrying a violin case...

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 No probs Dai - is it OK to fly these on VATSIM? Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 As long as you fly the DC-3 and record Flight Time & Fuel, VATSIM sounds good. Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 OK - I'll work out the flightplan, then fly it tomorrow - unless you have them all worked out Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Leg 6 is pretty straightforward - VOR to VOR with an ILS for landing at Zurich. Just the Alps to get over! Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Hi fellas! Done flight 6 tonight, time taken 133.55 (bit off!) and fuel used 3040.66lbs / 506 gallons - is that right? Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Thanks, Kieran - Flight Time's about right (mine was 133 minutes) but Fuel looks extremely high - my Fuel used was 149 gallons! Best check and confirm... Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I was thinking that - I'll have a look - I had 583.34lbs left in my tanks at the end EDIT - took the wrong starting figure - only 2083.8lbs of fuel was loaded, not the 3624lbs I was working on. That that means I burned 1500.46lbs, which equates to 214 gallons - still way off your 149 - where am I going wrong? Link to post Share on other sites
