Hi Sanal,

No, that fuel consumption is way off.  A typical high altitude cruise consumption would be about 5000 lbs per hour.  On the cruise performance charts, there is an explanation of how to calculate fuel consumption. You can cross check that with what the fuel flow gauges show (multiply one engine's consumption by three).  I calibrated the consumption to match the performance charts.

So I think something went wrong with your installation.

Do you have the following lines in your modified config file and did you remove the corresponding lines from the original?


fuel_flow_scalar= 1.05

ThrustSpecificFuelConsumption = 0.725

Did you replace the original cs727100.air file?  

As for the EPR gauges, yes you must replace the orginal file, Captain_Sim.p721.C07.CAB, in the panel folder with the replacement file of the same name.  Either take the original out, or better, just give it a different name so you can easily restore it if you need to.
