Fuel low

Featured Replies

I have been having a fuel problem with the 747-400X. In the beginning of the flight, it warns fuel is low and to press "Ctrl X". Nothing happens. Also, the load manager is screwed up on my screen, parts of it is missing and overlapping. I also tried the add-on for fuel and saved, but does no good.

Are you using the FS load planner to load fuel? If you are, then that's the problem.

Use the PMDG menu to load fuel. Add-ons > PMDG and then I think it's either under options or it has it's own fuel option you can select. Just for reference, this is all covered in the manual. I'd advise you at least glance through it as it will make your experience more enjoyable.

I did that earlier, but did not seem to work. I also checked the manual, but it is really not for trouble shooting. Thanks for the suggestions though.

You've used the PMDG menu to load fuel and still get the low fuel message? If that's the case I'd just disable those messages. I believe they come from the "flying tips." Should be in the FSX realism settings menu.

Don't forget to sign your name to your post, it is a forum policy.Yes, the low fuel message in FSX is an FSX thing, nothing is wrong here. But I really don't know how to fix your load manager.
