Where'd my fuel go?

[alstr]

I just did a flight LSZA - LXGB with 7,000lb of fuel which exceeds the block fuel stated in Simbrief.

I paused for a short while mid flight, but not a huge amount of time. When I came back, I nudged the X-Plane flight config time backwards to carry on from where I left off. I flew a little longer, and I noticed it looked like I had a lot less fuel than I remembered on the summary screen.

The prog page of the FMS was still showing a roughly correct number though.

Shortly after landing I got APU pump fail and mid way through the shutdown everything just went. I have no idea what happened. Screenshots below. Also see the crazy hydraulic numbers that seem to happen every other flight now.

(Extra weirdness: after switching back from replay mode I fell through the floor into outer space. The aircraft livery also reset mid flight).

Edit: looks like calc fuel was wrong, I thought it was sensed fuel. My mistake. This is resolved.

Unfortunately any time that X-Plane does the "loading flight" screen it resets the livery to whatever you selected on the initial flight configuration. You could consider reporting that as a bug to LR. *shrug*

I would sometimes do this so I wrote a script to maintain the time at which I paused the sim when resuming. https://github.com/pilsnerish/FlyWithLua-Scripts/blob/main/PauseResume.lua
