PAD Falcon 7X FSX version Fuel flow.

Hi all.  It doesn't appear that the PAD Falcon 7X is consuming any fuel.  I have used the FS9 version and never had any problem.  Has anyone else had this problem and if so what is the fix?  Thanks.

By chance, do you have unlimited fuel selected in the FSX settings?

No. I checked. :( The fuel flow gauge isn't registering and flow Either.  I have read that this was a problem and the PAD fixed the FS9 version but not the FSX.  I tried a couple edits in the aircraft.cfg but they didn't seem to do anything.  I am not a designer so I really don't know how all the lines of code interact with each other.  Thanks for the suggestion though.  Keep em' coming.

Try re-installing the plane.

I figured out what the issue is.  There are 2 "turbineenginedata" sections in the config file.  One has a line that says "thrustspecificfuelconsumption" and was set at 0.0 and the other section had the "fuelflowscalar" set at 1.0.  I guess it didn't know which one to use.  I am talking with PAD about it and what the difference in the 2 sections are.  I will post the info when I get an answer.  thanks for the replies.
