By Pierre Chevallier, Nov. 16, 2005? Will it board fuel correctly in the Queen--since I see boarding fuel needs to be done via the PMDG utility and not the MSFS way?Jonathan

The best "fuel planner" you have is the FMC! Load up the plane, load the route, activate, do the PERF INIT and then check the PROG page for the amount of fuel required - add a bit more to that for reserves and you should be good to go. If you want something more like the way it'd be done in real life though, get FSBuild 2...

Ryan:Wow, that is amazing! I didn't even know the FMC could calculate the fuel required for a trip. I must look again and closer. Thanks!Jonathan
