Really thanks for the accusim B377, it's really immersive, sophisticated, reallistic, it's...AWESOME !!!!

I just completed my first long flight from Elmendorf AFB to Seattle, geat airplane and very interesting to manage those 4 wing mounted monster engines but I have to practice my landings, the lead mechanic is fed up to perform hard landing inspections each time I come back on the ground

Just a question: is there a reallistic B377 fuel planning chart available somewhere ? For a small 150 NM flight with the pregnant guppy I tried to load the fuel quantity found with FSX flight planner + 5% extra fuel for taxiing + 15% for climbing up to 8500ft, fuel was distributed in the wing tanks, nothing in center tank, I reached my destination airport with.....0.3% in 2&3 tanks, 0.4%in 1&4 , I really don't think that ms planner can calculate reallistic fuel quantities

Take a look at the charts in the following thread, uploaded long ago by forum member 'Jahman'. Hope those help. Many of these appear to be made by Joe Sutter himself.

But if you don't feel like getting all technical about fuel planning, I use: 4200 lbs/hour + reserves
