FBW320 running out of fuel?

[FBW737]

the last few times I ran the sim with the FBW I ran out of fuel shortly after take off. Makes for a cool emergency landing scenario but I need a fix.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling via the FBW Installer and that worked for the first flight thereafter but its happening again now. Basically, I use the SIM flight planner choosing a departure and arrival location and high alt airways and hit the Fly Now Button. It seems the Aircraft always loads with only 2% fuel and when I try to change it using the weights and balance tab it won't take and I'm stuck with 2%

Never had this problem before WU12. Anyone know what gives and/or have a solution?

I'm using the latest Experimental version and don't have the issue.

I'm using the Stable Version

 Very happy with the latest experimental version too.

You have to use the EFB to fuel the plane. The ingame fuel tab is deactivated. Also in general: our documentaion is very helpful flying the A32NX.

Yes, this happened to me a couple of days ago around half way into a 90min flight.

Admittedly, not using the very latest experimental version, but not too far behind it.

I always follow a checklist, so definitely had the correct fuel at the gate.

Once I'd figured out why my engines had shut down and why the RAT had deployed, I 'topped up' the fuel using the EFB and carried on my merry way. Not totally real, but there you go...

How should we know? You probably forgot to load fuel.
