Got another flight marked cheated using the AN225. (suspicious fuel)
I upped the fuel flow scalar as suggested by members here when I flew my first flight with it and got a cheat, and have not had a problem since then. I've even flown the exact same flight as I just did here, and not had a problem. what's the issue this time? I fly my planes for maximum fuel economy and don't "gun it " like some people do... I flew this at FL300 and mach .78 and at cruise was showing about 18,000 pounds per hour.
Can this flight be fixed please I did nothing wrong. Thanks

Brian, you know as well as anyone else that we will clear flights that were marked erroneously. Most likely, your fuel savings saved just a little too much fuel (by probably fractions of a percentage point) to get tripped. This happens occasionally, and while we try to make it allow a fairly wide variance, it does still happen.
The flight's been cleared so don't worry about it.

Thanks Cap, that's all I was asking for. Perhaps I'll scale up the scalar just a bit more on this aircraft... not sure why this flight was so light when I checked my logs and the same flight a couple weeks back... I used over 180,000lbs.. odd. Thanks for everything you guys do, as usual, and the promptness with which it's done.
