Good morning,

I am in the midst of updating the Kondors! campaign (I'm a little over 50% done with it) but am having a big problem with the primary aircraft, the Fw-200 Kondor.

Simply put....she's a gas guzzler. I've tried everything...manual fuel management, manual mixture, and I still can't get more than 450 miles out of the beast, even though in Air Wrench it's range should be about 1,500 miles or more, especially with extended-range tanks.

This is important...because a handful of these flights are extended-range missions, including off of Portugal, southern Spain, from Bordeaux (France) to Vaernes, (Norway) and flying from Norway to Iceland, then back to Norway.

Any ideas on how to improve the situation?

I have just test flown the biest (GC-FW-200 Condor) and I learned the she is sucking fuel only from Center 2 (this is the smaller one - 501 gal). Only when Center 1 is selected she is sucking fuel from the big one (2129 gal).

Cheers

The 1% Kondor is sucking fuel from all tanks if selected so. I didn`t make a range test just a test flight.
May be you should swap in the 1% airfile.

Cheers

It's better. Not perfect, but better.
