I fully agree with you Neil.
I wish we had means to communicate with the controller other than declaring an emergency as you would surely agree that in real life
you would inform atc about the fact that you are loosing fuel so you are a) upped in their priority
and b) have the option to change your
plans without big explanations (divert to nearest if neccessary). That would really a nice new option for a future version of FSP to allow
flexible response to different error levels.

p.s. the red herring "may" happen if systems such as "fuel boost pumps" or similar equipment is actually functional in the AC's
configuration (payware often has complex fuel management options as you know) and actually FS9 can give you an error on any one of
those if they are assigned properly.....guess what I just experienced
