Hi Tim

Beta version - When I entered a  new route from scratch the printout showed double the fuel on board figure than the airctaft has. I have one aircraft which is set up with 50L. The printout showed 100L

The way I set up the route was

Run Skydemon - using the map select start airfield, then end airfield (route created) - Select Route - Print - Fuel on board = 100L (rather than 50).

I then selected Setup - Aircraft - Selected the only aircraft on the list - Use this aircraft - Route - Print = 50L.

Have you checked the take-off/taxi fuel usage. This is set by default to be pretty high for us Rotax/Jab users at grass strips. Can indeed double the fuel usage on a medium length crosss country route in a microlight  .. also check the climb/descent usage rates.

I put a route into the beta and it seemed to make sense  .. but confess I do not use this feature much.

All aircraft parameters are correct including the ones you mention - looks like it's picking up a spurious figure but that's not from the data I set for the aircraft.

Worked out what happened - nothing to do with Beta. I had set up an aircraft from scratch. Deleted the Default Aircraft so only the one I created showed in the list. The Default Aircraft  seems to be 'hard wired' in that the system uses that even when it has been deleted from the list. Maybe an option 'Set default Aircraft' would be a useful mod. In the meantime I'll reinstate the default aircraft and edit it.

Edited the Default Aircraft but still looks like the original default data are hard wired. I edited Default Aircraft with 4200, 80kts IAS 50L fuel - deleted the 2400RPM, 108KT IAS profile. Restarted SD checked Aircraft Library - Default Aircraft listed and set up as edited. Created routed manually then Checked Flight details as well as Route Print - the orginal Default Aircraft data 2400RPM, 108KT IAS with 100L fuel on board is still being accessed by the system.

Thanks for pointing out this bug in the beta; it has been fixed.
