March 26, 201511 yr Lately I have been having an issue with fuel in the Turbine Duke in Prepar3d. I have not noticed it in FSX but it may be because I've been primarily flying it in Prepar3d lately. For example if I depart and set my tank to 100 gallons each, fly an hour and land, the fuel resets to 130 gallons each tank on shutdown (full). I recreated it in a test as well. I have also seen the fuel decrease during flight while monitoring I may notice 25 gallons each tank, then look down 2 minutes later to see 9 gallons each tank. Has anyone else had any issues like this? I sent a support email earlier, hopefully I find a solution.
March 26, 201511 yr Hmmm, not seeing this. You're not parked at a fuel spot are you? Just flew a flight on PE tonight in P3D. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

That's a possibility honestly, there was one on the same ramp but I was pretty far from it....complete opposite side of ramp. If that is the case, I still have an issue with the time it's happened in flight except more empty......
March 26, 201511 yr I'll look at it again. Just so I understand you're saying after the engines shut down the fuel is refilled? | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
March 26, 201511 yr Author I'll look at it again. Just so I understand you're saying after the engines shut down the fuel is refilled? Correct. Got an email back from the developer saying it is impossible that something else has to be going on....so I will continue to monitor and pay close attention if it happens again.
March 26, 201511 yr I don't know what the correlative options are in P3D for Aircraft Realism Options, but it might be a good idea to make sure you have those sliders set correctly, or "enable automixture" or "unlimited fuel" unchecked. Ethan Edelson
March 26, 201511 yr I just tried to be sure in P3D... N626N paint with dual GTN 750's - Set half tanks, started it up, shut it down (battery on still) - fuel remained the same. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
