[MISSING TRACK FILE] Around 800 lbs fuel disappears when starting in mid-air

[Hippo]

Latest open beta. Just set up a mission with the F-18 starting in the air at 34,000ft M0.83 with a particular fuel load in the mission editor. When I go into the mission, the fuel instantly drops by around 800 lbs.

 

Sorry if it's something I'm doing wrong, but pls could you confirm if you also see this?

 

 

EDIT: It's around 500 lbs, not 800. Track file not provided, since either it's an issue or it isn't. E.g. I set up the aircraft as described above with 8000 lbs in the mission editor, and it starts in the mission with 7500 lbs.

Retested, something odd does seem to be happening.

 

Create a new mission. Add a player F18 at 34000ft, mach 0.83. full fuel (10800).

 

Go into mission. F18 starts with around 10100 lbs.

If you are comparing weight from editor and weight from the checklist page it is known and being worked on.

 

thanks

I mean the fuel weight as displayed on the IFEI and FUEL page, compared to the fuel weight specified in the mission editor.

 

 

My guess is that the sim is compensating for change in fuel density, but I would have thought that the value on the IFEI would be corrected for this in the real aircraft.
