Calling Paul Grainger

Post by **MALTBY D** » 21 Aug 2006, 10:05

Hi Paul

The latest stats show some very odd performance figures for the two 1-11s you've just flown.
The normal fuel flow is around 2500 kg/h, but you only got around 620 kg/h.
I'd have said you flew a 748 instead, except you also got an average ground speed of 360 kt !
If possible, can you check your 1-11 model out?

Thanks
DM
You can see the latest August stats in the stats thread above.

Hi Dave,

Chatting with Gebhi (Paul) and comparing his .cfg to my .cfg files and dates are different. I'm sure I got mine from your website, are they the latest up to date files? There was a difference in the fuel scalar between mine and Geb's. Mine was 1.30 and Geb's was 1.20 for the 400/500.

Yes, my website always has the latest available files.

Maybe he's got some old version, or even worse - a mix of old & new.
MS don't make it easy by having all the repaint info lumped in with the flight dynamics. Some people do keep their old aircraft.cfg so their repaints stay intact.

I'd guess it has to be a lot more than just fuel scalar to get the figures Paul did.

Maybe he's got a very old FS2002 version. Or would that make the fuel flow greater in FS2004. Can't remember now.

Paul has done another couple of 1-11 flights & the stats for them look much better.
So whatever you did it seems to have worked.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Dave,

A fresh download from your site fixed it. Not sure where he got his 'old' one from.
