My bad, it seems the starting fuel capacity is low to start with, so it's not the consumption rate that causes you to end up with about 130 liters after a couple of minutes in the QM, but the fact that you start only with 170-180 liters (instead of 400).

The campaign seems uneffected.

The probable cause for this is that it seems the Emil's weights and loading data is somewhat off in the sim. With full fuel load, you have a takeoff weight of 2701 kg, and the max. takeoff weight in the sim is just 2600 kg. It seems the sim simply takes away the 'surplus' fuel so you can't fly with the normal capacity of 400 liters in the QM.

How on Earth the Emil ends up at +100 kg overload in a perfectly normal loadout conditions (100% fuel, 100% ammo, no bombs) is beyond me. It seems to be a bug.
