Lua script for X-Plane 12 fuel management
As a Challenger 650 captain, I fly routes between North America and Europe with some frequency. Dealing with the interconversion of imperial and metric units is a challenge; so I create a Lua script that runs in the X-Plane FlyWithLua plugin.
Once installed, the script allows you to enter the required trip fuel, current onboard fuel, fuel density and metric vs imperial units and outputs the desired fuel uplift. You can also select to take 10%, 15%, 20% extra fuel. This is a feature that I added because SimBrief seems to underestimate my fuel burn.
