The default 737-800 in FSX with CVA colors keeps resetting my fuel thus throwing off the used fuel amount. This has happened twice in the last 3 flights. Any thoughts on what may be causing this?
This is the log from todays flight:
The onboard fuel amount at takeoff was about 27,000 lbs before it reset.
[14:50] - Boeing 737-800 CVA [14:50] - Flight CVA6504 is ready to depart CYXY with a final destination of CYYC. [14:50] - Parking Brake Applied [14:50] - Boarding [14:53] - Parking Brake Released [14:53] - Pushing Back from the gate [14:54] - Taxiing to Runway [14:59] - Taking Off with 189 passengers on board [14:59] - Take off at 135kts, with a pitch of -13deg and 45511lbs of fuel on board [14:59] - Gear up at 89AGL [14:59] - AutoPilot Engaged at 141AGL [15:00] - Climbing to TOC [15:00] - Mid Air Refuel! 1099AGL [15:19] - TOC reached [15:19] - Cruise started [16:57] - TOD reached [16:57] - Descending to destination [17:11] - Landing Shortly [17:21] - Gear down at 1693AGL [17:27] - AutoPilot Disengaged at 122AGL [17:27] - Landed at -391fpm. With 4008lbs of fuel onboard and a pitch angle of -3deg. [17:27] - Taxiing to Gate [17:31] - Parking Brake Applied [17:31] - Arrived safely at CYYC. We hope you enjoyed your flight!

Hi Harry! You know I've seen similar in CVACars if I switch aircraft after loading and connecting that program but the wording is a little different. What are you using for flight logging? CVACars? FSAcars? Someone using the same flight logging software as you may have the correct response.
okay, I can see now by your pirep that you are using CVAcars and the wording is different so I don't think you switched aircraft after loading the program so I'm baffled as to why you would get a mid air refuel as well.

Yes CVAcars.
I don't recall ever having this problem with the Posky 738. I do know that in FS9 if you set the weather or time after setting the fuel the fuel would often reset to 100%. I've been careful to keep this in mind in FSX and usually don't have a problem.

That is because Cal uses fancy PMDG MD-11 and for whopping 79 bucks, this overpriced plane better has fuel jestison feature in event of needing emergency landing which requires fuel dumping before making landing.

Someone better post it on here when it happens cause I am downloading everything. And just for the record the md-11 is worth every penny.
