mikehatch Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 FSEconomy. When I start the flight, it loads much less fuel that I should. I don't know if this is an issue with the FSE client or the TBM. For example, most recent flight, I had loaded 250 gal (both in sim/TBM and FSeconomy refueling). When I hit start flight, the fuel indicated was instead 220 gallons. Anyone else noticed this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boredtechie Posted March 1, 2019 Report Share Posted March 1, 2019 It's probably worth checking the FSE forums for a more in depth answer. In short FSE loads fuel by the weight and it assumes Jet A weighs the same as 100LL which it doesn't there is about 13% difference. Based on your figures 220*1.13 = 248.6 so I expect this is the issue you're seeing. Regards BT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
