CH47D losing fuel

    I just purchased both the CH47D and the MV22 from the ingame marketplace and have been really enjoying both, however i'm having a serious issue with the CH47D.
    Unless I have infinite fuel selected in options my fuel gauge constantly empties at a rapid rate. This is from cold and dark or spawning at a runway.

    I've tried reinstalling twice and the problem persists.
    I followed the checklists, read the pdf manual and can find no mention of this anywhere.

    Am I missing something in the EFB like a reset aircraft button?

    Any help is appreciated.

    1. Just to confirm, this is MSFS2020, correct?

          It is happening in MSFS 2020 on PC.

          1. Thank you for the extra info. Is there any way you could send us a video of the problem? It is really not something we have seen or has been reported before. So really I'm unsure what may be happening here.
            Please show both the fuel gauges, and the weight and balance menu on your video to clearly address the problem. If possible, please also show the overhead panel where the fuel pumps are.

                After a bit of trouble shooting I found the cause.
                For some strange reason MSFS had bound Fuel Dump to the same switch on my Warthog throttle as external Lights.
                Needless to say I feel like an idiot .

                Thanks for the help.

                1. No problem, it happens :)
