P-51B fuel bug

In the hangar:                                      In the game:

25% =13 minutes                                25% = 12 minutes
                     
50% = 27 minutes                              50% = 24 minutes

75% = 40 minutes                               75% = 40 minutes

100% = 54 minutes                             100% = 54 minutes



Obviously, the 1 minute difference at 25% is not a big deal, though still an error.  At 50%, the 24 becomes 23 right after takeoff, so the difference is significant.

And if the in-game values are correct, what explains the 16 minute jump from 50% to 75% when the other 25% increments yield 12-14 minutes?

Each increment should be identical in any case.  Something is not right.

Odds are all the planes are not exact the  % shown.

In any case, the numbers in the hangar should match what you actually get in the game.

Numbers in the hangar are at best valid for only a single altitude (0 MSL intended?), so they are no more than a minimum time. The hangar should not show higher values than real endurance at 0 MSL.

Also depends on altitude / throttle / prop adjustment / WEP enabled, etc.
