APU Fuel Consumption

Features
1

Would it be possible to add fuel consumption for the APU? It would be interesting if the APU actually consumed fuel while running, and if leaving it on during flight resulted in additional fuel burn.

This could add another realistic aspect to the simulation, especially for longer flights. For example, if you forget to switch the APU off after starting the engines, you would gradually burn extra fuel throughout the flight.It could also make proper APU management more meaningful, rather than simply being an on/off system with no impact on fuel.

Just an idea that I think would add a nice touch of realism to Infinite Flight! :airplane:

Let me know what do you think about it!!

Voted. Nuff said

Also, remember it’s always a good look to vote for your own feature request as well

Voted! Of course, been thinking about this weirdness for a long time, someone’s bound to mention it. But this feature gotta be balanced with ground power availability.

I’m sure at some point they will add this. The typical 320 family APU burns 200-300 lbs per hour depending on load.

This would be nice I thought they added this when the update happened but no.
