H87 Fuel gauge or fuel consumtion problem

[Tigger6]

When you fly the H87 at same altitude max/max/wep. The times to drain fuel are about the following:

full (cca 600) to 500l -> 28min

500 - 400 -> 23min

400 - 300 -> 21min

300 - empty -> 26min

This gives the power consumption of about 214l an hour in the beginning, then it goes up to 285l/h by the time we are down to half of fuel tank and in the end it skyrockets to 700l/h, probably even more if I would measure at 100l intervals.

There is a bug somewhere.

Bump. And someone plz correct the typo in the title.

At max/max/wep Allison should consume something quite a bit in exess of 400l per hour, so in AVERAGE the consumption is close enough to correct.

H-87 is a merlin, well, a Packard V-1650 to be exact.

Yes, I'm not doubting the total flight time, I'm doubting either the gauge or the fuel consumption rate.

The max. fuel consumption for the Merlin seems to be 400l/h as well.
