And to sidetrack a little, how much is FSPassengers, Javier?

in Singapore Dollars, its more expensive than FS itself but in Euro, it is $31.90 and in US $38.90.
You could check out the website http://www.fspassengers.com/

Javier,
Your best bet for fuel burn figures is to estimate them... The actual fuel burn depends on weight, weather, altitude etc so exact figures need a fair bit of calculation.
You can guesstimate them quite well by dividing the aircraft's maximum range by it's fuel capacity OR by doing a test flight for an hour at cruising altitude in calm weather and seeing how much fuel that uses. These figures will probably be accurate enough... Obviously when fuelling the aircraft for a flight don't forget to add some extra for diversions, emergencies, holding time and to allow for any really fat passengers ;D
EHM-1821 Javier:
I do not know how to convert litres to pounds. Is there a formula for this?
FSP uses Pounds...
EHM-0654 Murray:
I'm pretty sure there is a setting in FSP for units, but... a quick Google later...
1 litre of AvGas = 1.58lbs
1 litre of JP4 = 1.76lbs
(Or just get the figures out of the FLogger - in works in lbs as well...)
EHM-1821 Javier:
I have found the setting and changed it. Thanks Murray. I didnt even think of it.
I would prefer it to be pounds though...
