Uninitiated Fueling

On a new airframe (persistent or non-persistent) the plane gets an automatic 4000 lbs of free fuel. As far as I can tell, impossible to prevent.

On an existing airframe reload (persistent mode) the airframe launches with 0 lbs of fuel and then will refill to wherever you left it over a period of 10 - 60 seconds based on how much gas is onboard.

To be clear, it isn’t refuelling when you power the avionics on. The level of fuel in the tank isn’t changing. What you are seeing is the data from the fuel level sensors being filtered by the computer to present a stable figure. After power up, give it a few minutes to provide a stable figure. You’ll see the same effect after fuel pumping is finished.

The rate of change of the fuel displays are effectively limited by this filtering, prevents the fuel displays flickering all over the place when in turbulence. This should all be explained on the fuel system study window.
