Fuel Dumping

Is there a way to dump fuel so that you can Handle better on landing?

Thanks in advance!

You can allways change your fuel load no matter where you are but it is not very realistic. I have a payware aircraft that will actually allow you to dump fuel but this feature has to be put in at the time the aircraft is made. 8-)

Yeah, the Project Fokker 28 has this feature too.

  There's a few aircraft out there with fuel dumps. I believe the iFly 747 has one (hidden somewhere in the thousands of active switches) as well as a B-52 model that, for some odd reason, I randomly found in my Aircraft folder. Must have come as AI with some random scenery, as it had no sound (I modified that with eight 707 engines I have to turn my speakers waaaay down when I go to spot view.) Theres also quite a few other large planes out there with the feature, but it's pretty rare.
  Either way, you can always press ALT-Aircraft-Fuel and Payload-Fuel Quantity and adjust it from there, any place at any time. Personally, I just use a calculator and compute fuel burn for a long run to get in the correct weight and balance ballpark upon landing. It's more realistic and it gives you something to do on a long flight.
