Fuel Problem

High guy's I seem to have a self inflicted fuel problem. I have a Dash 8 on lease and have done a few flights in her and have about 4.5tne left in the tanks. I've just downloaded an updated FDE for the Dreamwings model to stop the "bouncing" error. Now I've just tried to do a flight and the client won't let me stating that there is too much fuel in the aircraft. I have two options:

a) change the capacity in the FDE but how do I do this? or
b) remove fuel from the aircraft. Again how can I do this?

1. start flightsimulator
2. fuel up your aircraft by using the FlightSimulator
3. start the client and choose "compare fuel" method

It's the Dreamwings Q100. Well documented issue with contact points being wrong on the original release. When you get to about 40kts on takeoff run it bounces to the point where takeoff is actually registered by the client at about 50kts!

I've solved the fuel problem by actually fueling the tanks individually. I've lost some fuel already paid for but I least I can fly. Thanks for your help.

There's a section in your virtual airline setting page that appears at the end of the year where you are able to fill out any losses caused by the bug inside the client.
