Keep an eye on your fuel

Hi Chaps..
I'm not sure how this might effect FSXers but I've been poodling around in the Dh89 in FS9 the past week and have noticed a few variations in available fuel for my next flight.. this when I've finished one and booked another in the same aircraft. The usual variation has been around 2kg which is nothing in a jet but a lot more in a Rapide!! My last flight was Glasgow to Benbecula. I started with 192kg tanked and didn't add any for the flight.. there being enough onboard. On landing at Benbecula, both the aircraft and fuel report showed I had 118kg remaining. I'd shutdown the engines as I always do.
I booked the next flight.. Benbecula to Tiree and when I opened the client, it reported an initial fuel of 70kg plus 48kg in the 'Add fuel' box giving me a total of 118kg. This has effectively lost 48kg between flights.
I've reported the anomaly at FSA and I'll wait a month or so to see if it gets a response.. not
FS9ers in particular, keep an eye on your tanked fuel. The odd 2kg has been with us for a while now and FSA aren't going to do anything about it but on this flight in particular.. something has gone drastically wrong. If FSA is knicking the odd 48kg here and there in FSX, it'll have to be stopped.
