February 23, 201115 yr im quite confused with the standard fsx b737-800 fuel system.i started a flight with about 8000gal in the center fuel tank and 900gal (each) left and right tankfuelpumps are both on and idle and i have tried with x-feed open aswell as closedbut the 737 seems to only take fuel from 1 tank... it doesnt touch the other nor the center tank(both engines are running yes)so with the 900gal at takeoff, it only lasts me to about 3000ft and the engines turn off =(has someone got a clue why? and/or how i can actually use the other two tanks toothank you!

February 24, 201115 yr does anyone here actually use the B737¿ :(let me test your situation on my machine... :( Derek RogersPC Specs: Intel i7-4790K 4.6GHz : 16GB RAM : GTX 970 4GB
February 24, 201115 yr I don't seem to have any issue with the fuel on the B738. At mine it does use the center tank. Do you use any third party software/liveries/aircraft.cfg edits?
February 24, 201115 yr does anyone here actually use the B737¿ :( The stock 737 VC isn't that bad looking, but very functional.I' started a flight from KORD parked at a gate and I taxied to the runway. I've been flying for about 30 min on the fuel load you described. :( can't say i have any idea what is happening with your 737. All can ask is if it happens in other planes. But I still have not advice to fix it. sorry Derek RogersPC Specs: Intel i7-4790K 4.6GHz : 16GB RAM : GTX 970 4GB

February 24, 201115 yr Author nope, no changes made to the b737, its as blank as it comesand i dont have similar issues with other aircraftsill give the C172 a try atleast it fixes several other issues with other non-standard-aircrafts Mike Karlsky
February 24, 201115 yr Author darn, loading the C172 first and then the B737 didnt help <_<still got the same issue Mike Karlsky

March 6, 201115 yr Do you have any parts of the aircraft.cfg that you have edited so far?Alternatively, another cause may be attributed to corrupted installation during the installation process.Try checking your aircraft.cfg file first before considering the reinstall option.Dave.

March 6, 201115 yr Try loading the default C172.. then completely cycle the fuel selector.. and then leave it on 'All' (it might say 'Both').. Save as default flight.. then load the 737.
