I was wondering what is the maximum (safe flight) range of the Boeing 737-800 PMDG, that it can still have like 2000lbs in the reserve. And can I actually make a transatlantic flight with it? Thanks in advance Mixer

Hi folks! I've just taken delivery of the King Air C90B and I'm planning on taking it for a little jaunt around the world, visiting all the countries competing in this years Olympics (all 204 of them!). I've had a look through the included documentation and can't find anything to do with the range of the aircraft at relevant heights etc. Have I missed something? Also I'd like to use accurate fuel weights where possible. Does anyone know of a good fuel planner for the C90? Finally I have FS Commander 9 which doesn't have a profile for the C90. Is anyone aware of a profile being available that I could use. A lot of request, I know, but many thanks, in advance, for any help. Paul -
Hi. I'm flying some ultra-long-haul flights recently with my 772 and I always notice one thing. The fuel amount at destination on the CDU keeps decreasing. For example I've flown from OTBD to NZAA yesterday and after T/C my CDU said something about 16 tons of fuel at NZAA. The number kept decreasing and reached 9 tons before T/D. I haven't changed anything and I was doing step climbs without any delay. Right now I'am flying from NZAA to LEMG (two most separated major cities?). After T/C, CDU said 4.4 tons at LEMG, but soon I've got an 'Insufficient Fuel' message on the EICAS, and 0.0 fuel at LEMG on the CDU. This time I've decided to do something about it and I've reduced cost index, then reduced step size, and finally increased the tailwind. It helped, but just a little, and now I've still got the 'Insufficient Fuel' message. Do you know why the fuel amount at dest is always decreasing, even when I make an airplane more fuel efficient and make the weather conditions better? Am I doing something wrong (except taking more fuel on-board or perhaps not flying longest routes possible )? Or maybe the autocruise increase fuel consumption (I do not fly 23-hour long flight in real time)? Michał Trześniowski
