Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

This is my attempt at creating an aircraft entry.
When generating a flight plan the fuel etc is always -1.$.
What am I doing wrong?

[Cirrus SR22-G2/IO-550-N] -- (Me) ---
WeightUnit=LBS
OperEmptyWeight=2250
PayloadWeight=200
ReserveFuel=:45
AlternateFuel=0
HoldFuel=81
ExtraFuel=0
TaxiFuel=0
ApproachFuel=0
MaxTakeoffWeight=3400
MaxZeroFuelWeight=2250
MaxLandingWeight=3400
MaxFuelWeight=486

PerformanceData=
ToldData=
DefaultTOFlaps=
MachCruise=.25

I'm no expert, but I would suggest using cruise speed rather than Mach for a light aircraft (Don't use the "." for mach if you do want to go that way (MachCruise=25 would be correct), and would also remove the "0"'s from your Extra, Taxi and Approach fuel lines.

So I would try :

WeightUnit=LBS
OperEmptyWeight=2250
PayloadWeight=200
ReserveFuel=:45
AlternateFuel=
HoldFuel=81
ExtraFuel=
TaxiFuel=
ApproachFuel=
MaxTakeoffWeight=3400
MaxZeroFuelWeight=2250
MaxLandingWeight=3400
MaxFuelWeight=486
ImageFile=
PerformanceData=
ToldData=
DefaultTOFlaps=
MachCruise=25

Rather than use the MachCruise, I personally would use this instead :

ClimbSpeed=135
ClimbRate=1000
CruiseSpeed=185
DescentSpeed=160
DescentRate=1000

I may be off the mark, but give it a try.
