PA28-161 Warrior II - Fuel Flow

   Question on fuel flows with new PA28-161 in X-Plane 11.  

Went up to 8000ft pressure altitude, leaned to peak RPM set at 2600.  Checking flight computer in aircraft indicated fuel flow to be between 4.0 and 4.1gph.  Isn't that about half of what it should be?

Checked various altitudes power levels, compared to POH, and they are all about half of what it should be.  Even climb, full rich and full power indicated 13.5 gph.

What am I doing wrong here?  Is this me or the model?

Thanks,
Scott
