miatamariner Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 or should I re-phrase that and say "fuel", and this is while I am doing a pre-flight check list. I checked the fuel and payload box and it shows 0 % and gallons for all tanks. Oh, the AC is the default A321. Checked my aircraft cfg folder and this is what it shows for "Fuel". Any ideas why I'm still out of fuel?

mrzippy Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Well, the obvious place to check is the fuel/payload page and adjust each tank to your needs. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I would be willing to wager that your default flight was saved off with 0 fuel remaining. Either that, or it's a glider. They generally don't carry much fuel, after all. That may be why the plane loads in with 0% fuel aboard. Have you tried resetting your default flight to the original, FSX default Default Flight, if you see what I mean. The trike over Friday Harbour? Worth a try, anyway. Of course, Zippy is right. You can adjust the amounts to what suits you. Hope this helps.

They indicate the realtive location and capacity of the fule tanks NOT the contents or quantity. To put fuel in the aircraft you... put fuel in the aircraft. If you `inherit` a saved flight with zero fuel then you put fuel in the aircraft. If you inherit a flight with no fuel in the aircraft and you don't wish to do so in future you put fuel in the aircraft, then SAVE the flight.

mabe5454 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hopefully this observation is not sidetracking the thread but whatever happened with the message Ctrl+x showing intermittently as the fuel reserves got closer to empty? I haven't seen that sucker in years now. In fact, when was it supposed to work exactly? Long ago it uses to add about 25% fuel while pressing the key combination once. Now it doesn't.

Must have saved the Trike somewhere along the way probably with enough fuel to run a lawnmower for 5 minutes. I adjusted the fuel quantity in the A321 and saved it as the default flight. No more screaming passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he save that new deafult flight with the Avionics switch on??;) Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
