Guys, in last years race, I had two fuel "errors" on the final Chinook flight if you remember. The leg started from and ended on the fuel bay. Did you cross the the fuel bay, with the Duenna loaded?

According to Jozef's duenna log, the alleged refuelling occured at 13279ft GS:370kts, IAS:309kts, VS:-2ft/min...So, I don't think this is just a fuel bay issue.....

No, it's to do with floating point rounding errors.The weight figures Duenna uses to determine whether you have refueled are reported to a higher accuracy than FS can actually reliably deliver (no fault of FS, it's the accuracy of the CPU that's the limiting factor).Duenna should take these things into account by taking a spread around the previous reported weight as valid but fails to do this.Johannes is working to correct that.Here's an excellent article about the problem (highly technical, not bedsite reading for people under the level of Stephen Hawkings): http://docs.sun.com/source/806-3568/ncg_goldberg.html
