To declare an emergency or not...this is the question.

[Joeflyer]

I've not had a situation where the aircraft was leaking fuel prior to takeoff but if you notice it, declare the emergency and go back to the gate.
Obviously if it wasn't a FsP made failure but the built in aircraft failure (like some aircraft software has), FsP won't recognize that failure and
you'll be penalized for falsely declaring an emergency. Have you made sure that you've disabled any failures for the addon aircraft software? I'm
assuming that it is an addon

At any rate, what could it hurt? Like you said earlier....hit the ESC key and get out of the false failure...should it be one of course.
