KZ1R 4 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Very strange thing: I have loaded 9.5 tonnes of fuel and since have taken off. Fuel consumption is shown but the total FOB remains unchanged. Why? P3D here and the AXE v1.20b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emi 5161 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Turn on your fuelpumps It's a known bug with the fuelpumps off, but since they're not supposed to be off anyway during SOP, we don't really care about this bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KZ1R 4 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Wow! LOL That was quick. Not sure how I missed it. Thanks! But, how in the world was I able to start engines with the fuel pumps off? Does the fuel flow into the engines on gravity too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotflieger 32 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Emi that is not the attitude. It is a bug and it should be on the fix list. Or is its Aerosoft's SOP to ignore genuine inputs from its customers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emi 5161 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Emi that is not the attitude. It is a bug and it should be on the fix list. Or is its Aerosoft's SOP to ignore genuine inputs from its customers? So we should fix the ELT not activating after a very hard landing, too? Not to talk about the effects whith the hydraulicpumps being off. Why would you differ between fuel- and hydraulicpumps then? The A320 family project is about to be closed. We are fixing the last things we think are important now and afterwards no futher fixes will be made. We could expand the list of all things we would like to do by a few thousand items, but that's just not feasable. We have simply reached an end with the A320 family now. Wow! LOL That was quick. Not sure how I missed it. Thanks! But, how in the world was I able to start engines with the fuel pumps off? Does the fuel flow into the engines on gravity too? Correct, the fuel is feed by gravity if the pumps are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersu 23 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Emi, Whether the pumps are on or off - the aircraft should consume fuel. The ELT is irrelevant, as are the hydraulics. Fuel consumption is a fundamental element of flight unless you're in a glider. DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick1246 353 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 fuel pumps off isn't SOP, so we will not change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
