Fuelsystem error, mission editor vs ingame refuel

[illern]

Hi!

 

I have done some testing with regards of the fuelsystem.

Why sometimes we have 135% fuel and some other inconsistency.

 

All tests are done from the mission editor where I set up the initial fuelload.

Then enter aircraft and change fuel in rearm/refuel communication dialog.

See attaches table of test and results.

Example:

First test, started with 0% internal fuel, 0lbs and total 54% without X-tank...

Fuelinstrument in cockpit says 45% as will refuel dialog.

Change to 100% in refuel dialog and you will end up with 124%.

Added X-tank in refuel dialog and 100%. It will be 126% as it is supposed to.

Remove X-tank in refuel dialog and 100%. It will be 103% as it is supposed to.

 

(Had problems inserting my table so I attached an image instead)

 

Problems:

In the first test with 0% internal startfuel and you do a refuel in the F8 menu without X-tank you will end up with 124% fuel.

Add an X-tank and it will show correct amount of 126%

 

When we use an X-tank from mission editor all fuel values will be incorrect when you enter the aircraft.

Especially when you set 100% internal fuel in mission editor. Then you will end up with 135%.

If you enter refuel dialog when you have 135% it will correct the problem when you accept 100% in the dialog.

 

In the #5 test when I changed from 45% to 50% in refuel dialog and after refuel opened up the dialog again it now said 72%!

 

If you start a flight with X-tank and 126% fuel and use fuel so you land with less then 100% it will not refuel the X-tank.

You will only get 103%.

To get 126% again you have to drop the tank and then refuel they will add a new tank with fuel.(maybe this is supposed to happen?)

Hi!

 

I just revisited this bug report, but wasn't able to reproduce the issue, beginning with test #1: 0% internal fuel showed 0% on the fuel instrument in the cockpit in my test, while in your table it says 45%.

I guess this has been fixed then.
