Hello guys,
I have noticed a curiosity when loading fuel onto the plane via the QualityWings load manager (dispatcher):
For example I fill my tanks 100% with the dispatcher and load the plane into fsx, I only have about 90% of fuel on board. Same example with 50% fuel in the dispatcher is equal to about 42% percent in game. I tried it with an empty plane, so that I do not get over the maximum weight. Same problem.
When I load the fuel into the plane with "fuel and payload" menu in fsx, I can get for example 100% of fuel into the tanks.
Of course I looked into the manual but I could not find an answer.
I hope some one can explain it, as I just bought the plane yesterday.
EDIT: There is another thing I do not understand: When I calculate a flight with a distance of 1700NM and a cruising altitude at 33000 feet, the calculator gives me total fuel of 3396 lbs but the maximum fuel quantity is over 20000lbs. There must be something wrong, I really donīt know what :dizzy:
