Dear folks,
I'm just preparing a cross-pond-hop to Goose Bay via Lossiemouth > Keflavik > Sondre Stromfjord (GAFTIC = German Air Force Training in Canada).

The stock fuel values seemed a little odd to me:
Center 1225 gal
Left 315 gal
Right 315 gal
That's just 1885 gal.
Real world F-4F values are these:
intern: 1994 gal
external center: 600 gal
external left: 370 gal
external right: 370 gal
3334 gal all in all.
So my aircraft.cfg entry now comes up like this:
[fuel]
...
Center1 = 0, 0, 0, 1994, 43 //Rumpftanks
Center2 = 0, 0, -3, 600, 7 //mittlerer Aussentank
LeftMain = 0, -7, -3, 370, 7 //linker Aussentank
RightMain = 0, 7, -3, 370, 7 //rechter Aussentank
Ferry range is about 1600 nm at FL370 and Mach 0.9. That'll do...
Cheers,
Markus.
