FMS fuel discrepancy

Featured Replies

The FMS reports 2-3 hundred more pounds of fuel than the fuel gauge shows. The fuel load page shows an accurate quantity, but the rest of the FMS shows 2-3 hundred more pounds. Any ideas?

I'm also having a problem of repeatedly getting wheel well fire warnings, identified in the failure menu as 'excessive brake heat'. I have serviced based failures enabled, but this doesn't make sense.

Darrol,1. Fuel readings - this is realistic, the FMS and fuel gauge are often a little bit apart on the actual airplane. We modeled this. 2. On the wheel well fires, are you heating up the brakes and then taking back off and retracting the gear? In real life if the brakes are hot you leave the gear down in the air to cool them - same thing here.

1.Interesting, thank you 2.Nope, this happened a while into the flight, 20 or 30 minutes EDIT: Great job by the way, I'm very impressed by the FPS performance.

It looks the brake heat/wheel well fire issue is related to large amounts of windshear. It seems to occur when FSX suddenly switches the wind direction. Perhaps a decrease in speed is interpreted as braking and thus increases brake heat?Maybe there is a correlation with ASX?Looks like it definitely happens when a headwind changes to a tail wind. Maybe a connection ASX's method of correction airspeed after this event?

I have the same issue. And yes, I am almost positive that it has to do with ASX wind shear.

So, Ryan?
