October 23, 20178 yr So I only recently found out about the centre fuel tank option on the real A330: The -200 has been using it since first flight, but only in the last few years (5?) has the -300 had the option to make it wet. How easy would it be to update the config to reflect this option? I had set up an Air Caraibes -300 flight from Orly to Guadeloupe and online flight planner gave the fuel as more or less maximum - I'd actually misread the trip fuel as 177161 not 117716 lbs! Thinking that no way would they allow the trip with no reserve capacity triggered my investigation. I could just paste the extra fuel tank line from the -200 to the -300 config but its longitudinal position from the datum would be wrong, but how wrong? Any ideas please? -200 config.
