MB-339 Internal Fuel Issue

[RomanoDJr]

In the manual  for the MB-339 it states that the jet should have 1100 kg of usable fuel. When I fill the jet to 100% it only has 626 kg. The screenshot attached shows the value at 98% as 615 kg (I couldn't get the screenshot fast enough at 100%). A friend also noted in the MB-339 lua that it also says 626 kg.

 

Please advise.

Hi, thanks for your message.
This is not an issue.
The "internal" fuel in the manual is intended with elliptical tip tanks, which is the configuration called "clean".
As per MB339 design, tip tanks are part of the aircraft; they are not considered as payload, although there is the possibility to remove them in maintenance (in fact, even the emergency jettison does not operate on them).
In real life, the only MB-339 cleared to fly with no tip tanks is the Aerobatic version. Military versions are not cleared; in fact, if you make a quick search on Internet, it is impossible to find an operative MB-339A without tip tanks.
