Glitch/Bug in fuel consumption tracking during job

#1 Post by steko » 05 Dec 2021 12:34

Hi everyone,

during working with the telemetry SDK, I implemented a method to track the fuel during a job as the SDK doesn't offer that.
However it was always a bit of in one specific scenario until I may figured out why - seems to be a glitch/bug in the game.

Let me explain:

First scenario:
• You start a job, your truck has 500 l of fuel
• You start the engine -> this will consume about 0,5 l
> you have now 499,5 l
• Assuming you need 50 l to deliver your job
• Ending up with 449,5 l left and the result screen will show you 50,5 l (my fuel tracker also does)

So far so good :)
But as far as you need to refuel during a job it will go off.

Second scenario:
• You start a job, your truck has again 500 l of fuel
• You start the engine -> this will consume about 0,5 l
> you now have 499,5 l left
• Assuming again you need 50 l to deliver your job
• You are driving to a fuel station and already used 10 l
> you now have 489,5 l left
• At the gas station you refuel until you have again 500 l
> consumption tracked so far: 10,5 l
• You start the engine -> this will consume about 0,5 l again
> you now have 499,5 l left
• You are driving to your destination consuming the 40 l for the rest of your trip
> you have 459,5 l left - Consumption should be in total 51,0 l cause of the 0,5 l for the engine start after refueling
• Ending up with that 459,5 l left and the result screen will show you 50,5 l (my fuel tracker does show 51,0 l)

So for some reason fuel consumption is not tracked when you start your engine after refueling again.
I'm pretty sure it will also apply to ATS and maybe if you do a rest to sleep? Didn't put that two scenarios in a test.

I didn't attach the game.log as it doesn't provide any information on the fuel tracking at all for us.
It isn't that game changing, but I thought I'll let you know anyway. :)

Regards,
steko
