Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

I'm trying to relate the fuel flow numbers in the 'Aircraft' folder with the fuel flow shown in the route.

I created a simple profile for the King Air 350 based on the performance data from http://www.hawkerbeechcraft.com/beechcr ... mance.aspx. The profile is shown in the attached screen shot and has fuel flow of:

Climb: 935
Cruise: 772
Descent: 500

I have not been able to find any documentation on the units and I assumed they should be lbs/hr.

On the flight plan the calculated fuel flow is:

Climb: 8450 - 33081
Cruise: 3613 - 4933
Descent: 500 - 582

Why are these numbers so different to the fuel flows in the aircraft file?

I've attached screen shots of the aircraft data and the route.

I'm just guessing but if you have a .prf file referenced in the fsb_aircraft.cfg file that .prf file setting takes priority over any of the comparable values in the fsb_aircraft.cfg file.So even though they may be displayed on the aircraft page in FSB2, they are not being used because the .prf settings have a higher precedence.

Regards.

For troubleshooting I reduced the cfg file to be as simple as possible. It looks like this...
