[fuel]

Total 3871 USG but grossed up to allow for the fact that Canadian and British AVGAS was high density. The real flight manual assumes 6.45lbs/USG as 'typical'. Fuel must always be encoded and loaded by mass not volume since calorific value (range and endurance) depends on mass not volume.

station_load.1=6300,0,0,0	;max payload with max fuel - falls to 5900 with 6 crew

82300 - 25000 fuel = 57300 and 57300 - 50200 = 7100 / 200 = up to 35 SOB with max BOAC fuel which is 29 pax for Lagos or Buenos Aires but 31 for Tokyo if no mail loaded. 

BMA rarely flew the C-4 further than Manchester - Barcelona and loaded much less fuel than BOAC. Their aircraft eventually had 64 seats which (with baggage) equates to a payload of 12,800lbs with fuel reduced to max 18,500lbs when all seats sold. Use the FS9 menu to load / unload payload and fuel in pounds. Ideally conduct flight planning in accordance with the Propliner Tutorial and load correct fuel for route, increasing payload to match
