Fuel price

Looks good, You can set it to false so it only uses your price you set

I set it to false and i am still getting stupidly high fuel prices  ???. As I am only after a fixed fuel price i have changed all my airports to a price of 3.75 per Kg of fuel. I will do a few test flights and see what happens now.

Some examples?

As in, what’s “stupidly high”. What’s an airport example and what’s your default price in the local.config?

Config::Set(‘FUEL_DEFAULT_PRICE’, ‘5.10’);

Config::Set(‘FUEL_SURCHARGE’, ‘5’);

Config::Set(‘FUEL_GET_LIVE_PRICE’, false);

ALL of my airports airports have a fuel price set at 3.75

When a PIREP is files via FSAcars the fuel price comes in at anywhere from $200 to $2000 per kg sending the VA finances into a steep downward spiral making running a financialy viable VA an impossibility. I don’t know what else to do. At the moment I have to edit every pirep that is filed just to stay afloat.

So give me some examples of the fuel used, and your prices, and we can step through and see what’s happening. The prices sounds about right, though, are you sure it’s per kg?

That price that’s shown in the PIREP is the *total* fuel cost, not per kg (it’s labeled wrong, I’ll double check this)

Yes, just co nfirmed. It’s labelled wrong. That’s the total cost of fuel for that flight

OK knowing the labelling is wrong makes a bit of sense but still something is wrong with my financials.  I just accepted 8 pireps of quite small flights in light aircraft and I looked at fuel usage and the figure that is labelled wrong and looks to be correct with the fuel price I have set equalling the total fuel cost for the flight. After excepting all flights I checked the fuel costs for the month of June in the admin finacial section. Fuel had blown out to  ($ -3,339,089,855.00)  I went back and checked the PIREP FSAcars log and noticed that the fuel is recorded in Lbls and not Kg. Could this have something to do with it?

After seeing that huge fuel price I used the maintenance section in the admin and reset PIREP finances. Now my fuel price for the month of June is $0.00 Does this make any sense to you Nabeel?

You shouldn’t have reset, I think it says there it’s only for if you have flights from before financials?

I’m look into it in more detail

Can you list the flights, fuel prices/total fuel, and then the financials what that says?

Just do flights for June
