Always running out of fuel

Featured Replies

Hello,

I tend to usually fly the microlight Aerolite 103 and I'm finding that I run out of fuel after about only 40 miles, I've checked in failures and cleared everything there, surely just 40 miles isn't correct, is it?

Well how much gas do you have when you start your flight?

It is about 120 miles IRL. Check your fuel load (Shift Z) at the start of the flight.

Thanks for your replies, I wasn't aware that the fuel load could be altered, I just assumed that the tank was full at the start of a flight.

I have tried pressing shift Z but nothing happens, am I mising something please?

Shift+z is something for another simulator, perhaps Ian got confused 😛

In the screen where you create a flight, you select a plane and on the bottom right there are some buttons for the fuel. That's the window you need to use to change it

I've found it now thanks, there's a customize button on the aircraft icon, that leads to various items including wieght & balance anf fuel.

 

Thanks everyone so much for your help
