I'm seeing this come up a few times in the threads and getting locked because 'defuelling is unrealistic'.
So before this gets locked too, I want to expand, and make it clear, I am talking about 'non-persistent' mode.
What is realistic about the failure scenario management? You're not going to practice any of that in an aeroplane.
You give us the massive in-depth capability to run failure scenarios, and then lock us out of the ability to control the weight of the aeroplane.
If I want to do a V1 cut at 5 ton fuel, I should be able to do it. If I want to do V1 cut, with 1 ton of fuel, I should be able to do it.
"Unrealistic' is not an excuse here. There should be no lock on the weight of the aeroplane in non-persistence mode, that is the mode you would use to quickly bounce between failure scenarios. Please give us the ability to directly control such a basic function as how much fuel is on the plane in this mode. At the very least at least make it load with min fuel instead of over 2 hours on aboard.
