Hi there if anyone can assist me on this topic I have been doing G/As on the F18 with burners for about 2 hours now the fuel hasn’t depleted even though on the predicted fuel hr last about 1 hr 21min on full fuel
Does fuel Burn?

Is that what you thought?

Yep only noticed on the F18 as it’s the most fuel burning aircraft I know.
-
In the past, even before AF Global, the Ec135 would run out of fuel and the display would show “Low Fuel” but the engines would not shut down. Then this feature was discontinued.
-
Although the "Low fuel" display is still visible in the simulator with the "None" fuel setting.
-
With the FS 4 you can see in the TMD files that the code lines for the FUEL segment are changed. At the moment I see there a redesign of the dependencies of the tanks, valves and lines and their effects on the center of gravity. After that, it should only be a small step to let the engines go out in case of fuel shortage.😃
I'm curious to see how the reactions in the forum will be in the future, if the engines go out in the middle of the flight on FS flights, because they simply misjudged themselves before.🫣

It is likely that there will be a proliferation of posts saying “"We want" aerial refueling aircraft”.

With the C130 we have already simulated refueling on the ground
, here it will be exciting how many simmers want to wait for the time to refuel 
(ok, there is a hidden time-lapse function😂).The simulation of air refueling is in progress, both as a receiver and as a tanker. The F18 is also in sight, which can also do both.
The only flying tanker we currently have is the KC 10 with a boom from brunnobellic , which he published 20210617 on the former platform Flight-Sim.org. Maybe there will be a new edition of a tanker that flies an large holding and can be placed in different places.

Heh in Singapore to request to do VFR you need to let ATC know ur hrs of endurance lol.

DR100 if it can lift banners and gliders I don’t see why a fuel tank will hurt
