This is an ongoing issue.

The real helicopter can fly for over 4 hours, the one in the sim now gets just over 2 hours

It is almost as if fuel use is doubled.

Please check the numbers, as streamed aircraft can not have their performance numbers fixed manually.

Yeah it seems it happen with other aircraft too. The DHC-2 Beaver has a real life range of ~380nm. In sim I had to use the add-fuel button cheat (at the beginning of the flight because of the other bug where you always spawn with very little fuel) to top up the tanks after ~75 miles because they were nearly empty. It’s like 3-4x real fuel consumption.

This is now fixed (for this aircraft in the title) in the SU2 Beta, unknown for the others.
