Fuel Starvation. We need to talk (and fix it)

It’s been over a year since I first reported the UK Hornet Mk.III and Mk.I having fuel starvation during negative G maneuvers DESPITE being fuel injection. The original report was shot down with “not enough info” by a Bug Moderator.
I re-opened the issue to now also include the new UK Welkin, which used an anti-G float to prevent fuel issues. These aircraft are handicapped because of a crazy bug that nobody seems willing to acknowledge. Below is the bug report with attached evidence to show that that I’m not just making stuff up. The Hornet especially needs fixed; it can’t compete with its engines constantly cutting out.

Fuel starvation has nothing to do with the engine, it has to do with the fuel tanks not having fuel where they normally do, also iirc fuel starvation is kinda weird for most aircraft in game

However they coded it, it’s obviously wrong. Hitting -0.5G for 0.75s should not cut the engines.

That does indeed seem quite extreme
