It's a very simple and quick thing to check the client window after you have started the flight to ensure that the correct fuel is on your aircraft. The departure fuel is the sum of the initial fuel plus the sum you are asking to purchase. It is a calculated amount and that which you would expect to see on your aircraft when you have started your flight. If you see a difference between what the client is expecting your flight to start with and what your flight actually starts with and you do nothing about it, then when you land and finish the flight, the flight will be flagged as a cheat due to incorrect fuel logging. We added the take-off fuel info which is a direct read by the client via simconnect/fsuipc to your aircrafts fuel tanks. From the discrepancy you can see clearly that your sim/aircraft stopped the client refuelling correctly.

Re: Fuel... Something is Not Right !
So why was the A/c status 100% when it should have been 98.9%ish !
Re: Fuel... Something is Not Right !
If we knew your pilot name it would be helpful as someone would be able to look at the aircraft since we can't just look up a registration number.Nudge wrote:So why was the A/c status 100% when it should have been 98.9%ish !
Also, upon reviewing the aircraft, it looks like the status was just reverted when the flight cheat was set into effect, if you are honestly concerned about it, I'm sure a developer or DB Admin (Not sure if they have the permissions or not) can change it back.
