Multiplayer problem - any aircraft starts up with empty fuel tanks

Thsi problem only occurs when I join a multiplayer session.

Whatever aircraft I choose starts with empty fuel tanks (and engines stopped) and it takes a long time before CTRL X works (fills fuel tanks). If I start a freeflight I do not have the problem.

Any ideas?

I have asked a few others in multiplayer sessions and they do not have the problem.

Some aircraft I choose (eg Grumman Goose) refuses to allow fuel tanks to be filled (via CTRL X).

This is preventing me from joining multiplayer sessions.

Hello,

No sure if you have tried this yet.

When you connect to the session, there are tabs displaying options for 'fuel and payload', 'flight plan', etc.

Open the 'fuel and payload' tab.

Is it also displaying empty fuel tanks here?

If so, are you able to change the status of the tanks and add fuel?

Let me know how you go with this.

Thanks,

Thanks F16

Yes I have now found the Fuel and Payload tab and yes it also showed empty fuel tanks and when I entered values it was ok when I joined the session.

I find it strange though that a few weeks ago I NEVER had any 'fuel' problems (never had to use Fuel and Payload to fill the tanks, they were always full).

My son also says that he nevere has to manually full the tanks when he enteres a multiplayer session.

Oh well I can now manually fill the tanls - just a nuisance that I need to especially as I have the realism settings set very low.

Thanks again
