    Boeing 747-8i Accurate Fuel Fix - Image 1

    Description

    This modification changes the fuel flow in the engines.cfg file to better suit the real-life 747-8i's fuel consumption. 

    The default plane without this modification uses 56% more fuel than it should realistically be doing. This mod was calculated to make it much
    more accurate. 

    PLEASE NOTE: This modification is experimental, so please keep a backup of your engines.cfg file elsewhere in the case it does not work. This mod will still continue to be patched given new information. 

    Please send any questions, concerns or data to the Reg Development discord server: https://discord.gg/G6NgfSh or contact me on discord @Vaporized_Butter#5211

    2. Make a backup of the asobo-aircraft-b7478i/simobjects/Airplanes/Asobo_B747_8i/engine.cfg file, so you can reset back to default. 
    4. Extract the mod ZIP folder to your install folder, and when prompted press "replace files".
    5. The fuel mod should now work in-game. Please make sure to restart the simulator.

    Send any data, questions or concerns to https://discord.gg/G6NgfSh or me. 

    Please note, this modification works only for making the 747-8i fuel consumption better. 
    Do not try to use this on another aircraft or you may end up breaking it.

    first mod on flightsim.to

    The idea is good, but unfortunately it doesn't work as intended...

    The fuel consumption is indeed improved, but is still far from reality.

    My 748i enroute EDDF to KSEA crashed 1200 nm from Seattle because of fuel starvation before this fix. With the fix it crashed 1050nm from Seattle. In other words, it didn't work. Block fuel was supposed to be about 220k lbs, and yet even 420k lbs (max fuel) didn't help.

    I replaced the old file i official as specified in the description.
