Duenna behaved strangely in this flight, releasing the baton at the time I touched down and not when I stopped, and didn't seem to record fuel usage correctly. The above is calculated from the loading page in FSX. I started the flight with 50% fuel (198 lbs), ended with 40.8% (161.6 lbs). As you can see, the fuel use is roughly the same per hour as my previous legs.
Other glitches with the Duenna file has been found, it seems to be completely off in every possible way. I'm invalidating this leg and reflying.

The Duenna issue seems to have been caused by the connection between my WideFS client and FSX having been interrupted when I was trying to fix some issues with my router. After restarting the WideFS client the Duenna is now seemingly working again.

Down safe at KSFF. Duenna worked properly this time.
Flight time: 0:30:03
Penalty: ?
Race time: 0:30:03 ?
Fuel use: 35.0 lbs
The rules doesn't specify any penalties for reflown legs due to technical glitches, so someone will have to decide what penalty, if any this should get.

Plenty of O2 and a tiny bit of fuel loaded for me and the passenger for this jump. Departing KSBS.

It's good that I checked the map before so that I knew I passed on the right side of the highest peaks. Though, it's weird that my map shows a lot of mountains to the left of my flight path, but when I look out the window all the mountains are to the right... Oh crap...
