was flying a mission I just made. Took off and did a combat climb to Angels 20. I leveled off and let my wingy catch up. Once he caught up we climbed to Angels 32. Once at cruise altitude I scanned my fuel usage and noticed my left tank was 300 pounds less than my right tank.  Is this an issue? I tend to think it might be but I am not sure.

From the ED forums:
3. Fuel system
1) Fuel quantity indicator now indicates fuel quantity in Feed tanks. Their capacity is different - near 1500 lbs right and 1250 lbs left
2) FUEL LOW light shows low fuel level in feed tanks, 1000 lbs in right feed tank and 600 lbs in left feed tank
3) External tanks refueling is prevented until tank 1 fuel quantity is above approximately 1560 lbs
4) While air refueling, if FUEL LOW light is off, and when gear is down, fuel won't transfer into internal tanks
5) While air refueling (open slipway door) fuel won't transfer from tank 1
6) Fuel dump stops when BINGO FUEL light is on
So this is normal; the fuel system is more accurately modeled with the new PFM.

Yeah, really the people to blame are McDonnell Douglas for not making them the same!
Oh, right, Boeing swallowed them when they lost the JSF competition and couldn't make it anymore, so penalty paid!

Hard to make something the same when they stuff the feed tanks between the engines. Grr I hate those two bladders, pita to change.
