refuelling

Hi,
I have newly noticed something. I don't know if this is specific to me or also others are experiencing this.
The problem occurs when I try to refuel heavies with "detailed refuel" method.
For example I am refuelling the 767-300ER (happens both with POSKY and Simmer Sky)
Main tank1= 15000 kgs + Main tank2= 10000 kgs + wings = 5000 kgs. each (thus 10000 kgs).
So, the total amount should be 350000 kgs. but when I check it in the client, it says I have 25000 kgs of fuel.
Is this something with the client or the model?
Cheers,

Try ifdg model, and if same thing happens, then I think its wrong with the client.

Most of the time, its better to use compare method.

Just a view

I have never had any issues using the detailed method regardless of aircraft model used...

Hi,

Some aircraft do have a problem with 'detailed' in which case you need to use 'compare'. It is more likely to be model specific as for the vast majority the client is OK.

OK thanks for the replies.
I was also suspecting the model.
Will try compare method next time I fly 763.
Cheers,
