I see. There are some conflicting requirements here.

He just can't quit being a test pilot and now he is test flying the
various models of the UIUC?

Da
Has anyone else been having a problem with trying to set the fuel load at
startup using property /consumables/fuel/tank[n]/level-gal_us ? I find that
sometimes I get the fuel load I want, and sometimes I get empty tanks. Is it
just me? This might be specific to JSBSim.

Alex,
Note that the previous function was:
suction = pressure * rpm / (rpm + 1.0);
Assuming pressure = 30.00 inhg, 3 inhg of suction required rpm.
4 inhg of suction required 1538 rpm, and 5 inhg of suction required
2000 rpm. At 700 rpm which is a reasonable idle speed, this formula
