chupaflier:
One last question: Those who don't have Xload installed and are sharing an online session with me wont see my Xload modeling, correct?

fael097:
yep.. not sure wich plane they'll see tho, my fsx used to change other people's f-14 for the learjet 45, so i can't tell you if they'll see the acceleration f-18 or not

BlakTiger47:
Yep mine did that too. I would get in close to check out the F-14 and then be disappointed to see a lear 45 flyin in its place. i wish there could be a way that you could view other's planes when online even if u dont have that plane.

Have you notice a change in the weight of the plane with the added fuel? Following your instructions, I added a center external tank with an extra 400 lbs load and I ddidn't think I felt it at the yoke, I was hoping a change in handling but...nothing. Did you?

I didn't "feel" any increase in weight.  What I posted gets you the additional fuel.  To really do it right, you need to add in the mass and inertia of the tank and pylon, plus you need to adjust the aerodynamics to account for an additional external store.  If you are trying to verify that the additional fuel got added in, you can compare the total fuel on the DDI fuel page with a summation of the individual internal fuel tanks.  You can also get the aircraft total weight by pullingup the FPAS page on the DDI.
