Refuelling not working properly
Posted: Mon Jan 05, 2009 11:57 am
Hi,
Refuelling is not working properly, here are my findings on two flights to test, both using 'simple' refuelling.
Flight 1.
This was my first flight with new client 1.1.3 and the client correctly showed initial fuel 0f 1033kgs. I purchased 400kgs fuel, client started my flight with 1433kgs showing so lost 3kgs there - report shows fuel on departure as 1430kgs. I burnt 193kgs on the flight ending with 193 kgs. The client has given the flight report as purchasing 193 kgs and burning 193 kgs so fuel the flight report shows a discepancy here. The aircraft however has been left with the correct fuel on the database as 1237kgs. As an admin, I have fuel start and fuel finish figures visible to me and these show start fuel 1237 and finish fuel 1057kgs so this has logged 197kgs block plus the extra 3kgs the client consumed on its own.
Flight 2.
This flight was performed with the same aircraft immediately after the first flight above. When selecting flight information in the client, the client was reporting initial fuel of 103kgs although database was showing 1237kgs. Where is the client getting this 103 kgs from ? I moved the debug file out of the folder where the client is in case it was somehow reading it from an incorrect field there but no, the client still showed 103kgs tanked. So, I 'bought' the amount of fuel to bring it to the amount that was remaining in the aircraft from the previous flight to see what happened. As you can see from the flight report I lost 3kgs again as the client reports fuel on departure as 1234kgs and I was charged for the fuel that the client 'lost'. The admin figures show start fuel 1237kgs and finish fuel 1057kgs so the fuel burn of 177kgs plus the 3 kgs the client has consumed again shows ok but why was I charged for the 1131kgs to get me back to correct fuel state?
Flight 3.
There isn't a flight 3 yet, I have booked the flight but instead of having 1057kgs tanked, the client is saying I have ony 88kgs!
Hopefully one of the developers can look into this with some urgency please.
Edit, just to check something, I completely deleted the client and associated files, instaled a new client app, changed my options, started the client again and still only shows 88kgs tanked instead of 1057kgs. Aircraft info
Regards
John
