Here goes for the first post on here!  I found this PDF with a bit of detail on GPH consumption for most of the more common aircraft whilst I was looking up performance data.  It may not conform exactly to the actual FSX/FS9 aircraft, but it should get you in the right ballpark:

Hi Greg,

The reason you will be getting a negative value is because the Maximum and minium weight of the aircraft maybe back to front ie: Maximum may have the minimum value and minimum may have the maximum value this happened to me with one of my aircraft.

you will find the values in the "aircraft.cfg" in the aircraft folder in your case the Wilco A330-200 folder inside airplanes folder.

the section is the "WEIGHT and BALANCE" section.

Check those values and if the minimum is higher than then the maximum just switch the values around.

step 2: once you have done that in AIR HAULER you need to remove all the Wilco A330-200 planes and reenter them again for the correct values to appear in air hauler.

Step 3: unfortunately if you own any of these aircrafts you need to sell them and rebuy the airplane with the new values. The program won't change the values which is why you need to remove and reenter the airplanes into air hauler.

Hope this helps as that is what happened to me with one of my planes the "UIVER DC-2"

Cheers,
Mike

Thanx for the info but is the specific fuel consumption in galloons per hour for the LDS 767 300 ER?

New Regional Prop......

http://www.regional-services.com/pdf/ur_news_news_Lett_frei_news_09.pdf

According to http://www.aerospace-technology.com/projects/jetstream41/specs.html

Performance:

 

Cruise speed 540 km/hour

Economical cruise speed 482 km/hour

Maximum altitude7,925 m

Maximum rate of climb670 m/min

Typical range with full passenger load 800 nm

Range with 80 per cent load1,490 nm

Typical fuel burn 420 kg/hr

Runway take-off 1,523 m

Runway landing1,280 m

 

Weights:

Empty weight 6,473 kg

Maximum take-off weight 10,886 kg

Maximum landing weight 10,569 kg

Maximum fuel 2,703 kg

 

That would put the max cargo for AI in at 1710 kg (please correct me if I am wrong with that), or 3770 lbs… Not a heavy lifter by any means – the Catalina has double the cargo capacity for AI – but it’s a very slow trip in the old bird!

 

Looks like an interesting addition to the fleet for a regional though – as with most things in AH – might not be the smartest business move – but if it’s fun and interesting to fly – my companies for it!

 

Price is at $44.95 and they claim that features are very configurable to accommodate a wide range of systems while maintaining decent frame rates….

Ahh – could be a strong indication of the growing popularity of AH when you see new aircraft getting beta tested within AH prior to release!!! 

 

 

“Just to prove how easy it was to land manually, I stuck it into Air Hauler so it would monitor a manual approach and touchdown. This was at Almeria’s runway 26 in southern Spain. As you can see from the caption, it is easy to pull off a greaser in the 900ER, despite that big tail overhang.”

Noticed that the AH landing categories were used as a metrics in the Avsim review of the Ariane 737… maybe they will become standard benchmarks... “Just to prove how easy it was to land manually, I stuck it into Air Hauler so it would monitor a manual approach and touchdown.

That's so cool!

I purchased the Quest Kodiak a few days ago in version 2.4b. I am not really happy with the performance. Speed and cargo capacity are a bit off I think.
The empty weigt is only 3350 (reality 3700), the speed at 12.000 at max power is already 231 Knots (reality 185 Knots maximum cruise speed.) You reach this 185 Knots with under 65% throttle...that does not "feel right".

This feels like cheating.

I changed the powerscalar from the turbine engine from 1.5 to 1.3 and the fuelscalar from
1.0 to 0.94 and empty weight to 3700. I tried to match exactly the fuel consumption from
the webside: 12.000 feet 179 Knots 47 gallons.

The plane is still way to fast (221 Knots at 12.000 feet)  but with this downgrades it is loosing his stol abilities. It needs a lot more runway with this configuration. With powerscalar 1.0 top speed goes down to 198 Knots at 12 k feet but it is absolutely underperforming on takeoff and climbrate then...

With a max cruise speed of 185 Knots. What should be a realistic top speed...200? 

Does anyone know enough about the .config and .air to match the data off the real-world Kodiak... downgrade top speed but keep stol and climb abilities?

I really like the idea of the Kodiak. Strong rough plane. Exactly the right plane to haul in the wilderness of Alaska and Canada. And for that I would like it to be as realistic as possible....

Any ideas?

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had info needed on Lockheed Constellation. Just picked it up today from Just Flight, and wanted to see it in AH.
Any numbers are appreciated, thanks.
