Unlimited Fuel Isn't !!

Featured Replies

Was doing a long flight in the A320 yesterday and it ran out of fuel despite Unlimited Fuel being set to on!!! Presume others have this issue too?

Will report it on Zendesk

Geez that must have been a long flight then 😄

did you use the modded one?

What could such a nonsense be good for? 😷

I was using the Flybywire plane and that maybe the issue. I would be surprised if it stopped the unlimited fuel overide though.

How long was the flight just out of interest?  And I know you had unlimited fuel set, but do you know what percentage the fuel tanks were at before you started?

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Same problem with all three airliners from Boston to London and NY to London (need to reconfirm but believe this isn't just an airliner issue).  Reported to Zen desk last week and they replied 'problem solved'.  But they don't tell you when a fix will be issued

1805 NM is well within the normal range of an A320. Why would you use unlimited fuel for such a flight? I’ve never used the “unlimited” fuel option, but I assume it keeps the tanks always full? If so, that would likely put you over maximum landing weight when you get to your destination.

options are always a good feature, why take that away?

side note- fuel starts at 50% unless changed manually.

Unlimited fuel does absolutely nothing. Fuel is used up in the normal way
