Good fuel planner?

[Rich H]

Anyone know of a good fuel planner for FSX? The fsx one has a lot to be desired.

That's where you gotta take it upon yourself. You really cant even count on published data about the real-world counterpart.

What I've done, is simply note the amount of fuel burned during a climb.. Then noted the fuel-consumption vs TAS during cuise.. and then guestimate consumption for a descent.

I have little charts for each model I use regularly. And even with those, you'd rarely make a flight where you'd push into reasonble reserves.

In a way, it's quite realistic  :)
