A browser-based fuel and route planner for the Duckworks DC-3 in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-18 issue.
For
Duckworks DC-3 pilots in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
Worth noticing
It models taxi, climb, cruise, descent, approach, contingency, alternate, and reserve allowances.

Field notes

The planner accepts route, weight, wind, altitude, and cruise choices, then divides longer journeys into estimated legs that fit its stated fuel and takeoff-weight limits. Its assumptions are unusually explicit: the 804-gallon tank figure is based on reported simulator tanks, fuel flow covers both engines, and the model does not select real airfields or assess terrain and airspace. Users are told to recalculate each actual leg at a fuel stop.
