Greetings everyone,

 

New user to the wonderful DC-3.

 

My question is rather basic. The manual states the fuel capacity is 822 Gallons. But in the X-Plane default payload and fuel loader the most I can put is 540 odd gallons.

 

Is there another way of loading fuel and payload on the DC-3 apart from the X-Plane Aircraft menu?

 

Thanks

Weight of Aviation fuel is 6.01 lbs per gallon.

Total fuel able to load in the DC-3: 4948lbs

 

Dividing 4948 by 6.01 gives me 823.29 gallons max fuel load.

 

Someone wasn't paying attention in maths class.

:P

 

If you think there is something amiss, please post a screenshot of your fuel and payload screen and we can confirm.

yup, I have no issue with what the capacity is, the problem I have is that the default fuel and payload loader only lets me put a maximum of 540 Gallons.

 

My question is, is there another way of loading fuel?
