hello folks out there i seem to be having a problem with the fuel settings in fmc, i will load my plane up or put a 100% in both wings.im doing the tutorial by Fred Clausen , and when im done programing my route and go into POS to put my ZFW in all it will give me is 17.1% which is not enough to get from KJFK to KORD, i will get a warning that there is not enough fuel, i will then go back into where i loaded the fuel and it is showing 100% in both wings, can anyone tell me what im doing wrong.......Thanks.Robert

Robert: Good morning. I'm not sure if this is your problem or not, but, when the 737NG is fueled in FS9, the engine start levers need to be in the Cutoff position. Also, you definitely, I don't think, can fuel the plane with the engines running. Another thing is that to make sure fs9's fuel window is in the percentage mode so you're not just putting in 100 pounds of gas. I'm sorry if that was "over-obvious." I hope that helps but I'm only giving it a 50/50 shot, if that much! Good luck.
