Yep, you are correct....I did a few test, really can gain alot of airtime



OK, so I tested further and the fuel use is only tied to throttle possition. Did a flight rigged very dirty, radiator open, gear down, flaps down, rudder slipball off-center, high throttle possition... there was no difference in fuel comsumtion flying dirty, over flying clean....... So my question to Oleg still stand's, if SOW will have this same model in a game that will be full of fuel concerns, or are you planning some new model of fuel use?
