Beagle and Few Cloudy

411a has perfectly summarised the essence of this thread.

The A310 FMS calculation can be corrected for aircraft individual fuel burn under Ref>Ref Index>A/C Status>change the consumption value.

The FMS would have been aware of the increased fuel burn. It could have been checked under Prog>Fuel Pred>EFOB at EDDV.
Assuming that the mode was the default FF+FQ (calculation based on fuel flow and fuel quantity) then the value shown would have been minus or with a warning 'Entry out of range'.

As for Few Cloudy and his marginal standard simulator check questions - get back on yer bike and ride off to the STCM!
