787- Cone Spiral and fuel burn
Hello Bravo,
I have the 787 and I absolutely love it, the two main problems I currently have with it though are that usually the fuel burns way too fast compared to simbrief, idk where the issue in that could be, this happened even when I had tailwinds. And the second thing is just a visual one, the Cone Spiral, for example on the Avianca one the spiral seems to be way too short and off, is this on purpose? Thanks

I constantly read online that the real plane is inconsistent with fuel usage. There is a level of expectation that will vary. Sometimes, we're vectors, assigned specific speeds and altitudes.Also,
I think it would be helpful if we get detail by detail in black and white of how the flight went and how much fuel you were supposed to have at parking based on the simbrief data. You can screenshot your fuel on the MFD with a shot of the list of expected fuel burn from Simbrief.
Because the key issue here is,... to what do we compare it to? I know in real life, pilots keep track of fuel per waypoint just like Simbrief prints it out.As for the spinner/cone, Avianca is RR engines. We do have updated fan blades for each type. I think compared to real world reference they look better. But the current one I think they've always had a good size. Nothing to be concern about.
Stay in touch. Please take screenshots of your flight fuel usage next time and post them here please.
