with time compression 1025 or less.

then on the way home, with well over 3/4 tank full, with TC real high, like 2048 or more, i would use every drop and not be able to get home.

then i tried it with TC at 1024, and made it home, so time compression has alot to do with it.

Is it possible you were bucking a headwind / current ?
