Excessive fuel usage

[Roblex]

Can anyone explain why my Spit seems to run out of fuel so quickly?

 

Unless I am misreading the pilots notes, it seems to be saying that even if I rush around at max throttle I should still get just over one hours flight time. I have not actually set a stop watch but I appear to get something in the range of 20 minutes +/- 5m.

I did a flight, T/O to 40600' mostly at 3000 rpm, full throttle, 22 mins. and still with a full lower tank at the top, followed by 2 landings at separate airfields, ending on fumes. 53 mins 20 secs.

 

So check you start fuel level in mission editor.

Also, keeping 'er at the +8lb boost is plenty and better for simulated mechanical longevity
