Cruise setting

I'm really loving the Porter so far, but I'm not sure what the optimal cruise settings are (best economy/best power).
The manual briefly mentions 1800 RPM and FSEconomy says that the typical fuel flow is 40 gph.
But does anyone have any figures for what setting I should set?

I set power for 115 TAS. Usually ends up around 46 gph, don't know if thats the corect way, but it works for me!

Are we talking MSFS or P3D?

I have the MSFS version, though i would expect them to have similar performance? (I'm quite new to flight simming, so i'm sorry if I'm completely wrong)

Different simulators operate slightly differently.
A real pilot offered up his settings here:

I believe this is what you were looking for?

Thanks for this link! But that means that the fuel flow is to high? So either I have to remain at my current settings (to get a reasonable fuel flow) or I’ll have to account for the extra fuel flow

Fuel flow is getting adjusted slightly in the upcoming version to more closely match the feedback we received from some RW operators.
