I downloaded the Honda Jet the other day and the poor thing uses way to much fuel compaired to my other private jets I have. Can that be changed by altering the the Fuel flow scallier in the air cfg file? if not, is there a way I can get a reasanable fuel flow? It uses fuel like a SR 71 but won't fly all that fast. It also wants to creep forward in idle.

Try decreasing your throttle setting and flying higher. You're going to burn lots of fuel if your low and at a high throttle.

Yes, but I should't be using 10 times the fuel per hour than my Gulf IV. If I flew any slower I may as well use my Volkswagon to get around with. Something is very wrong here!

If I remember correctly I think one of the freeware Cessna Citations had the same problem, don't remember which one or how to fix it though...

Look in the [GeneralEngineData] section in the aircraft.cfg for the 'fuel_flow_scalar' section. It's normally set at around 1.0. Decrease it by factor of 10 (to around 0.1) and it will use 10 times less fuel. This should sort you out.

Merry Christmas all!
