April 9, 200521 yr I've tweaked the fuel flow scalar of most of my 747-400s so that they closely reflect Boeing book values at StAt. But I find that if I remain at a set FL for several hours, the rate at which fuel is burned does not decrease as fast as the Boeing data indicate, i.e., I am burning too much fuel than I should be.Do I need to change the fuel flow "gain" factor to fix this? If so, which way does it go? It seems to be set for many jets at 0.002 although some folks have set theirs to 0.001. These are very tiny values and I am wondering in which direction to adjust the gain to reduce the rate at which fuel is consumed.Appreciate any advice on this, thanks!JS Jonathan Sacks Dell XPS Gen 4, Pentium IV Northwood extreme 3.8Ghz, 3Ghz RAM, eVGA 7900 GTO, 12 GoFlight modules plus MCP-PRO AP and EFIS, GF pedestal, CH rudder pedals, CH throttle quadrant, 42" LG LED, 24" DELL LCD, Windows XP, FS2004, FSUIPC 3.96 FS Autostart 1.1 (Build 11), FS Navigator 4.6, UT, FE, GE, REX, PMDG, Level-D, PSS, etc.
April 9, 200521 yr I think most here agree that fuel flow gain affects the spool up rate, not the consumption, so I think you need to concentrate on the fuel flow scalar value.
