Title: E6B
Post by: uptown on July 17, 2013, 06:56:28 PM

The E6B is showing wrong fuel time remaining. Showing more flight time with WEP on then when WEP is off.  :salute

Some planes in fact do have a lower fuel consumption under WEP. for example the P-47M.
Which one did you fly?

Indeed.  This is no bug.  Some planes do not use excess fuel for the extra power.  Some inject another substance (water, goat urine, etc).  Also, altitude is a factor as well.  Take up a P47 and check the fuel efficiency at 5k vs 25k, then try the WEP.  Interdasting results!   :D
