Hi guys,

when starting a short-haul cargo route from EDDN to EHAM, there is only a fuel qty of 25 tons (about 15%) on board. Upon reloading the situation, the fuel quantity jumps to 104% and the FMC doesn't respond on the FS ACTIONS fuel page. It is not possible to enter kgs or %, so all the performance data goes out the window. Heeeeeelp 😩

Cheers Baz

How exactly you reload the situation? If you finishe the flight for example and with still the same plane select to load a save flight this will happen,

 

You can't

1) Have as a default flight a PMDG or other complex addon

2) Load a PMDG plane and then switch to another without restarting the sim

3) Load a livery and then switch to other liveries without restarting the sim

4) Load a save state, do what ever you want and then reload it on top if the existing one without restarting the sim

Thanks for your quick reply ! I load P3D normally, with EDDNEHAM as the default. So one shouldn't have a PMDG as default scenario ? Wow, didn't know that.I have never had problems before, for example with your great 744. So one should start with a cessna ? 🙂 
Sometimes the fuel problem is there straight away, sometimes it occurs when choosing "Scenario Reset". There is no change of plane or livery , and there was never a change of the panel config.

It;s on the introduction manual I beleive.

 

The proper way to load is to start the sim in the select flight with the default trike, id using FSX, or select scenario with the default F22, if using P3D, select the plane you want aiport, time etc and press fly.

 

This is the proper way for any PMDG plane.

Thanks, Chris.

I will do so from now on. It seems to work.
