PIC/Posky merge: more fuel used on right side

Featured Replies

Hi all,I've discovered a "problem" (not really, but interesting) with the PIC/PROSKY merge 767-300.After a while flying, my rightwing fueltank is emptier than the left one.So my right engine (I assume, since I normaly don't open the crossfeed valve) needs more fuel than the left one. My 'workaround' is that, I open the crossfeed valve and disengage the right fuelpumps from time to time until my leftwing fueltank shows the same amount as the right one. My engine instruments are showing the same % N1, N2 and the same fuelflow for both engines during the whole flight. So what is happening here?Is anybody out there with the same fuel-behaviour?Best regards,Watsi

HiThis is well known and it occurs to everyone.Your procedure using crossfeed is correct.

Thanks for your answers.I didn't recognize the difference with the original PIC aircraft. Maybe I recollect it wrong (didn't use the ol' PIC for a long time).They implemented it on purpose? Why? For realism? Ok. If one likes it.Regards, Watsi

But it wasn't on purpose if I recall correctly... So what we have is in effect a "realistic" bug. :-)Martin767 fetishistIt's a lot like life and that's what's appealing

Thanks Lee,I knew that. I just wondered if a ~0.1 deviation every 15 minutes wouldn't cause the airline to throw the aircraft in a hangar and check the engines... ;)Best regards,Watsi
