We are aware fuel flow is still excessive. We haven't really looked too deeply into this yet because there's still some missing documentation from the SDK which goes over how turbine engines are modeled. Currently, it appears that fuel flow is linear with respect to N1/N2 which is not accurate to real life. More than 50% of the thrust of a turbojet engine is produced between 80-100% N1. This means that fuel flow is nearly exponential such that 1860pph fuel flow should be at full throttle in the CJ4 and dropping back to 96% N1, the fuel flow should be 1000pph, however the game shows it still near 1700. It is on our list and we hope Asobo can give us better docs for how to fix these problems. Picture or reference: https://imgur.com/nzNZJPU.

yes It does appear that the fuel is linear, how ever in the mean time it you are interested I did some tweaking to the default engines.cfg to better approximate the true range of the aircraft and fuel flows, with about 1100 lbs per hour(total both engines) at high speed cruise which according to all the documentation ive seen on the aircraft is pretty accurate here is my file

I will take a look

the take off and climb powers are a little low still and the long range cruise power is a bit high thats where the curve of the fuel flow needs to be adjusted

Yeah, I'm hopeful that the SDK will be updated so we can see what some of these new values in the CFG files are supposed to do (currently, we can't seem to figure out what they do)

yeah i tried my hand at that as well and couldn't figure that part out either

We thought about making our own fuel flow calculations based off N1 and a few other things that would then just update what is displayed on the gauges and remove fuel at the proper flow rate but it gets complicated.

This is an enhancement that we have not tackled yet, but is on the list. Tagging as enhancement.
from fspackages.
As a temporary fix, I set the fuel flow scalar from 1.0 to 0.52 in the ENGINES.CFG file. The fuel flow will not be accurate throughout all phases of flight (as mentioned above), but in cruise at FL410, this results in a total fuel flow of 1150-1200 PPH, which at least gives the proper range. Of course, the sim gives nearly the same fuel flow at lower altitudes, which is just wrong. Hopefully the team here can fix the fuel flow curve or better yet, MS will fix it in the future for all aircraft.
Now if MS can fix the porpoising at high altitudes, then it would be flyable...

We are implementing custom fuel flow modeling here in #164, so that should be appearing in a release soon!

Should be fixed in 0.4.0
