I copied this from the old forum
According to Airliners.net, the DC3 has a range of about 1300nm with max fuel and an economical cruising speed of 143 knots, so max endurance is 1300/143 = 9.1 hours
The maximum fuel capacity (from the aircraft.cfg file) is about 600 gallons so fuel flow is approximately 600/9.1 = 66 gallons per hour From the sticky at the top of the page, a gallon of fuel weighs 6lb so that gives a fuel flow of 66*6 = 396 lb per hour which I would round up to 400 lb per hour to be on the safe side. |
