Morning All, My JS41 fuel gauges show a distinct lack of fuel despite my required load showing in the FMC - as a result, my engines won't fire up :( would any one have any solutions to my predicament, Many thanks for any answers, Frederico

I should add that I'm using FSX & my fuel pumps are in the on position :(

Your required load is how much you need for your plan, the fuel guages show how much is in the tanks. There is no connection between them. Unless you load the fuel into the tanks, the guages wont change.

Answer appreciated very much Sir, question is - how do I load the fuel ? I thought it was automatic through the load sheet, would it be from FSX itself as there is no load manager for the JS41 ( so many aircraft - so many different ways !), Cheers, Frederico

I see also that I have 2254 LBS of fuel of fuel showing in the EIS ( I'm using the tutorial KHPN - KIAD if this helps ? )

You have to use FSX menu (ALT) to load fuel.

Sorry yes, it is a little confusing. The load sheet adjusts the payload but you must use the Aircraft>Fuel & Payload>Change Fuel menu to adjust the fuel quantities. IIRC, the tanks are about half full by default when you load the JS41.

Thanks for your help everyone, my problem has now been sorted out & it seems that I have just past the JS41 initiation test :( My engines are up & running now as they should be & I expect my maiden flight with BAV, in this type,shortly :( Cheers, Frederick J.Brown

Hi, Sorry to open up an old thread, however I have a question in a similar topic. You say that the in-cockpit load sheet does the payload. Does this mean that I actually don't have to edit the payload in FSX Fuel&Payload option? So if I'm understanding correctly, I set the quantity of passengers/cargo from the load sheet, and set the fuel from the FSX menu, and this will alter the aircraft's weights correctly? Many thanks, James

Yes, that's how it works.

Also after entering the fuel required in the FSX fuel load, enter that entry in the JS4100 load sheet as well to get your aircraft weights.
