Hi All,

I'm having a bit of a problem changing the fuel load using the fuel planner, I can alter the Pax load and the cargo load using the sliders but how do I alter the fuel load? Clicking on the Tank pictures does nothing. I'm simulating a flight from A to B to pick up Pax and then on to C without refuelling at B, effectively A to B is a Tanking flight with 0 Pax. Indeed when I flew A to B the planner underestimated the fuel required and both engines shut down shortly after touch down!

Anybody help?

Which sim?

Which version of the Twotter?

Screenshots of your settings in the fuelplanner please.

Hi mopperle, I'm using FSX + Accel. The Twotter Version is 1.21 and see attach for screenshot.

You cant edit the fuel tanks manually. Depending on pax, cargo and the data on the right side the fuel is loaded automatically. You get a warning (red numbers) when you exceed weight and or max fuel.

Also be aware that the DHC-6 100 got only center tanks, no wing tanks. In your case you have to calculate A to C including pax/cargo or you do separate flights with separate fuel planning, which is the usual way, except of very rare situations.

OK, so tell me what are the red figures on the right hand side? I find if I manually alter the total the fuel level alters, to what do the terms "item result", "head 0 kts",  "17kg" and "40kg" refer?

Thanks for your response,

Correction, if I alter the Dist. box and increase the distance it alters the fuel levels.
