Any way to change fuel capacity?

[CaptainJoseph 1]

Hi All!

I'm wondering if there is any way possible to change the fuel capacity in the MCDU? Obviously, this would involve changes to the flight model too for the accurate simulation, but I'm not too worried. If it is at all possible, can someone point me in the right direction? Which file should I be editing. Obviously, no support would be available understandably, thought you might be able to point me in the right direction though. 

 

Cheers!

The aircraft.fg file of each Airbus variant holds the configuration for the maximum fuel capacity, e.g.

• SIM Base Folder\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft Airbus A321 IAE\aircraft.cfg

 

[FUEL]            // A320 & A321
fuel_type                 = 2
number_of_tank_selectors  = 2                  
electric_pump             = 1
fuel_dump_rate            = 0.0
Center1                   = -2.55,   0.00, -0.00, 2180, 0
LeftMain                  = -8.89, -21.50, -0.00, 2061, 0
RightMain                 = -8.89,  21.50, -0.00, 2061, 0
 

The fuel capacity is given in US gal.

 

As always it's a good idea to create a backup of the original file before modifying it.

Excellent! Thanks!
