Question from a PPL holder and flightsimmer for an FMS expert:

I understand that the FMS assumes a clean aircraft, however if on the fuel progress page the calculation was based on 'FF+FQ' ie fuel flow and fuel quantity, and the fuel flow was double its normal value because of the extended gear, why did the FMS not calculate the remaining fuel correctly?
