June 3, 201610 yr I've done my first overland flight today, (Glasgow to Coventry) and hence the first time I ever looked at the fuel capacity of this aircraft. I noted that it can 'only' take 20000lbs of you'r finest Avgas! Now according to Wikipedia, DC6B could carry 5500USG, which is 33000lbs. This version will take the 6 roughly 2400-2600NM based on the 1000 torquemeter HP chart, whilst Wiki 'advertises' with 4000NM range. Is Wikipedia wrong? this a feature? are there plans to make a long range version? Thanks! Rico van Dijk
June 3, 201610 yr Commercial Member Is Wikipedia wrong? Damn...we forgot to consult wiki before putting in years of work on this? =P Note the "up to" part. We modeled the 8 tank version. That's the 10 tank version. Kyle Rodgers
June 3, 201610 yr Author Haha I would doubt Wikipedia before you guys! Ok that explains allot! I'll keep my eyes open for the 10 tank version expansion pack Rico van Dijk
