1.2.1 Fuel / Load Calculations Bug

[ThorCoolguy]

1.2.1 seems to have introduced a bug on the Fuel/Load page. After inputting ZFW, ZFWCG, and Block fuel, the fuel prediction to dest appears. This part works as it always has. But it shows a massive "Extra" value at the bottom of the page. In 1.2.0, this value worked as it should - it was (Trip Fuel - Block Fuel). So if your Block was 50 and your Trip was 38, Extra was 12.

Now, Extra appears to show the difference between the Block fuel and the currently loaded fuel (Block Fuel - Loaded Fuel). So if my Block fuel is 50 but I've only loaded 15, Extra shows 35.

 

If you refuel the plane progressively, you can watch the Extra value slowly move towards the correct value.

 

Very odd.

Hi, 

Two questions, Xbox or PC, and do you happen to have footage of this happening so I can better investigate and pass along to the team?

This is on PC.

 

I've included two screenshots here.

 

#1, notice the Block is 84.5, the FOB is 37.3, the Trip is 23.2, the DEST is 14.1, and the EXTRA is 48.

Block-FOB is 84.5-37.3=47.2, which is just about 48.

The DEST fuel is correct. Simbrief estimated me at about 13.5 at landing.

I have no idea where it's getting the TRIP of 23.2. Should be 70.4. Obviously it knows that, since BLOCK-DEST=70.4.

The second screenshot I've loaded more fuel, FOB is 37.5. BLOCK-FOB is now 47.0. EXTRA has decreased by .3. Trip has gone up by .2 (!?).
