Far be it for me to question what other airlines do. But How may I ask can a CRJ7 be expected to operate CDG-PHX unless someone is using a cheat program - the fuel burn would far exceed the capacity on the aircraft - Plus to the best of my knowledge no RJ EXCEPT the Global Express is ETOPS approved.

just curious

Hi Leif,

I guess they have 'unlimited fuel' checked in FS. I've asked that this function be disabled by the client but no response. This would also fix the issue of longhaul B747/A340 flights using Cessna 172 fuel burns and earning massive profits.

Hi Leif,

The other option for the cheater is to change the fuel flow scalar in the aircraft.cfg. Changing it from 1.0 to 0.01 does help increase the range.

Yep Im aware of both methods - I guess it just struck me as a little obvious you know

Fuel purchased = 0, and block fuel = 0 is also another clue. I don't know why these guys do it
