A thread was opened on the forum about how the C172P appeared to be incorrectly calculating the amount of fuel in gallons based on the weight of the fuel. It appears that the conversion is using 6.6 lbs/gal when it should be using something close to 6.0. That is /fdm/jsbsim/propulsion/tank[n]/contents-lbs divided by /consumables/fuel/tank[n]/level-us_gal == 6.6
I also had an issue with this for the p51d-jsbsim model and I had to use 6.6 as the conversion factor when setting up the fuel tanks in order to get /consumables/fuel/tank[n]/level-us_gal to report the correct amount of fuel. What is really strange is that /consumables/fuel/tank[n]/density-ppg = 6.0. Is this a bug or is there some other issue that aircraft developers need to be aware of to get this to work correctly?
