this is because the landing lights are retracted when the gear is retracted, its a limitaion in the model because its only the taxi lights which should go out on gear retraction the Just flight 340/330 retracts them all.. look at your center CRT display, you will notice the green landing light capti...

Lief actually we fly as realistically as we can, it is why Busy Jet pilots have gone to the effort of measuring fuel flows and passing around tables and charts. these off course have to be the plane you are actually flying which for most folks is the default why do we have so many varients of say th...

availble in the sense the last 382G was made in 1992 and the L-100-30 in 1996

regardless of model designation it does not change the fact that the 382 is the model out of production either way some accuarcy need applying to the database to apply the more correct 382G (or L-100-30) it would seem you cant buy a new build civil herc so it should not in fact be on the production ...

this is of course the wrong way round since it is the Model 382 which is out of production and the L-100-30 which is in production the other designation for the L-100-30 is Model 382G they are significantly different aircraft Just for interest 382=L100-10 382B=L100-20 382G=L100-30 the largest civil ...

in a realistic enviroment, you really dont want to get me started on that ;) as far as long range flights go i can only speak for myself in that i use a load editor and frankly i dont load passengers instead of the req'd fuel, as you would in real life however for me this is usually not an issue sin...

(did you use compare for both ?) incidently the plot thickens my CS B707-320 has always been flawless but while the cargo flight worked fine the pax version (no APU must attach ground cart) drained all its fuel on taxi...

using "compare" the reserve fuel worked for me how ever since the reserve fuel is such a small amount i suggest you fly her and consider the reserve fuel an usable amount. before 6.8b i could do a complete start and fly using flynet but not use reserve fuel, for flynet 6.8b i must be engines running...
