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.

 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

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.
