Endurance calculation is incorrect.

When selecting endurance mode in the CRUS page on the DED a time to bingo value will be displayed. This value is incorrect. In the example posted below the time to bingo is roughly 1 hour and 50 minutes while the fuel flow is 2550 pph and total internal fuel is 7000 lbs. This should give a time to bingo of approx 2 hours and 45 minutes, not accounting for the inevitable decrease in fuel flow as your total fuel weight decreases.

-Col. Russ Everts opinion on surface-to-air missiles: "It makes you feel a little better if it's coming for one of your buddies. However, if it's coming for you, it doesn't make you feel too good, but it does rearrange your priorities."

Notice it says "TO BNGO" which in track's case is 2000 lbs. If I set fuel bingo to 0 pounds I get more time. Know that there's more to bingo than just the pilot-set "fuel bingo" value. There is also the "home bingo" warning which is based on fuel level at the selected home point (HMPT) being less than a fixed amount.

The CRUS EDR page only displays the time to "fuel bingo" so "home bingo" may occur earlier.
