Bug with G4M1 range
 

I found this bug while testing some plane's endurances for air racing. I set up a mission on FMB using the Crimea map and the airfield next to Sevastopol. After testing some short range fighters (like Me 163:rolleyes:) I switched to G4M1-11, and instead of 25% fuel picked only 2%.

Method is simple, take off with full power, start timer, fuel out, stop timer. Then I imported the data to Calc sheet, and got the following figures:

Fuel loadout: 2%
Endurance: 2 min 8 s
Calculated 100% fuel endurance: 1 hour 47 minutes

Which is WAY too low. Yes, I know that you don't get maximum range with full power, but let me explain. The plane's total horsepower is 3060 (2x1530), and if we assume that the specific fuel consumption of the engine is ~0,25 kg/hp/h, the total consumption is 765 kg/h. Now, according to this source, G4M1-11 had 4900 liter fuel capacity. This means ~3500 kg of fuel, and the with that amount the corresponding endurance is 4 hours 36 minutes. Of course, to get the 6000 km range, you would need to lower the engine settings, and cruise for almost 20 hours!

Now the Betty's range is only ~1/3 of its real range, which means that either the fuel capacity or consumption rate is modelled wrong. If it's too late for 4.10, I'd like to see this fixed in 4.11. I can do some more tests with other planes to see if they're ok.

specific weight of petrol is 1,12 so 4900l equals to approx. 4.375,00 kg.

Are you sure? Anyway, if specific weight of something is 1,12, 4900 liters of that can't weigh 4375 kg...
I used a value of 0,718, this is my source: http://www-static.shell.com/static/a..._100ll_pds.pdf

Also corrected a small error on previous post, wrote 2500 liters when I meant 3500. Doesn't affect the calculation, only a typo when writing the post.

I guess the standard German B4 Fuel is more like Avgas 80/87 so you can use even lower density figures, I think it was 690kg/m3

Ok, i stand corrected, AVGAS 80 has a specific weight of 0,73 - 0,78 kg/l that would indicate a weight of 3285 to 3510 kg.

Just a couple of bugs: The Manifold pressure gauge is non-functional in the Macchi 202 (series VII), and when the cockpit instrument lights are put on, the fuel gauge is overlayed by an image of another instrument.

Acknowledged. Thanks!

i185: 4 of them made, 2 crashed during testing, the other 2 on standby in hangers. What a mythical plane. Personally I think it is the most over modeled A/C in this game to date... can sustain a Climb on a 44 Fw190 D9 no stalls or wing overs... Can get to 7k meters in no time flat... mater of fact. I have yet to see a max service ceiling for this plane... you could orbit the moon and then some in my experiences with it...
