Hello everyone... I have a question about the A340. I noticed it keeps burning fuel (fuel quantity dropping slowly) even when it is parked and the engines are off... how can I fix this?
Thank You for your help.....see ya in the skies...

Alex, the only thing that would make you burn fuel slowly is the APU being on - other wise, the only thing I can see is a leak.
Cheers!

I was thinking about a leak, but it happens all the time, even with failures turned off.
*EDIT* I think the APU might automaticly turn on when the engines are off, without us knowing or commanding it to do so.

It may be a way to edit either the aircraft cfg or the air file to fix this problem....
