Why is fuel used unevenly between left and right wing tanks in many payware aircraft?

Question

From what I read, the answer has to do with low frame rates. In my experience, this also occurs when the sim time is accelerated (using CTRL+T). My question is: What on earth has either of these things to do with how fuel consumption is calculated in X-Plane? And even if it this is how it is currently implemented, is anyone working to correct this problem? Thanks.

Notice: This problem does not arise in some payware aircraft (presumably, those whose designers were clever enough to implement a work-around).

Answer 1

If you can recreate this with one of the default aircraft, please file a bug report here. Please include all the steps you are using to see the issue (what setting of accelerated time, etc). Please also explain what the expected behavior should be.
