US Gallons in Mk1 Spitfire

Post by Allenbynigel »

How can I change the aircraft.cfg to read Imperial gallons instead of US gallons?

[fuel]
//Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons)
fuel_type = 1
number_of_tank_selectors = 1
electric_pump = 1
Center1 = 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 57.600 , 0.000 //top
Center2 = 0.000, 0.000, -1.000, 44.400, 0.000 //bottom
//Center3 = 0.000, 0.000, -1.000, 204.161, 0.000 //jett

Center1 should read 48.000 and Center2 should read 37.000 Imp galls and in the Payload Manager everything is in Metric instead of pounds, feet and inches!

Any advice on how to correct this?

Regards

Nigel

Best advise is to stay away from the .cfg file
here is a simple chart that can be used: https://flytag.co/jet-fuel-conversion.html

You should be using the Shift 4 menu to set fuel and fluids and, as Tomas said, stay away from the .cfg file. It doesn't work the same way in A2A aircraft. And I'm afraid you're stuck with Imperial gallons.
