Fuel consumption issue...

[Alexair]

Hello y'all,

I have an issue regarding fuel consumption. I don't know if someone has already discussed about that (I didn't find anything).

I have always a difference between the total fuel used given by FS9 or the aircraft's fuel metering system (which both result are identical)
but FsPax give me a close but different result.

Ex: Today, I flew with the Fokker 100. FS9 and the aircraft gave me a total of 2276kgs of fuel used and FsPax gave me 2175kgs that is
101kgs difference... (not big difference on this short flight but imagine on a 3h flight with an A300...).

So which one is wrong? I guess it is FsPax because both the aircraft and FS9 give the same quantity...

And that for all aircraft.

Dan or anyone, any explanations/solutions??

Thanks

I look at airliners.net for fuel and weights, then fix the aircraft.cfg files accordingly.

Ok thanks Keezaire,

So you are telling me that FsPassengers does not calculate the actual consumption of the FS2004 aircraft but it's own consumption
based on the info inside FsPax?? ie: I flew 01h30 then FsPax make it's own calculation based on the concumption of 01h30 and not the
fuel that I have really used in FS2004 ??

If this is it then there is really something to do against that...

Please tell me more

Thanks a lot

Interesting Alex. I went back and checked my fuel according to FsP against that recorded by FS FlightKeeper. FS FlightKeeper is a black box and has
the values direct from the sim itself/ I checked 6 flights and all 6 agreed within 1lb. So it looks like FsP takes these values directly.
