New Client 6.5b refuelling is broken

Post by Quantum » Thu Dec 14, 2006 12:25 am

:roll: sigh..................................

Here we go again.

Standard fuel : Doesn't work any more. When the refuel box pops up it shows 0 fuel quantity in the box. Change it to the fuel that remained after last flight and hit enter ................ the client drains your tanks dry !!!

Compare Fuel : Slight inaccuracy in the calc but leaves the correct(ish) amount of fuel in the tanks.

Detailed Fuel : It's greyed out and can't be selected.

Block fuel calc doesn't seem to be working either.

My pilots are getting a tiny bit upset sitting on the ground. But a nice cup of tea and a jolly good spot of footie and they'll be right as rain.

Reporting a big problem too, maybe the same as Jonh say.

My last 2 flights. With 6.5b

HLLT > LPPT A321
Departure Planned Arrival Arrival Distance Duration Block Fuel
HLLT \ 13:02 LPPT LPPT \ 15:56 1145nm 02:54 (2.9h) -842144650kg final profit 16.652.000v$ !? /1145nm


LPPT > KJFK B744

Departure Planned Arrival Arrival Distance Duration Block Fuel
LPPT \ 16:35 KJFK KJFK \ 23:11 2921nm 06:36 (6.6h) -842098983kg final profit 20.747.500v$ !? /2921nm

and lost a lot money, with a perfect flight status. Both flight with full pax capacity. How can I get the problem corrected?

I like the new way how to fill the tanks, a nice adiction. But are not working good at this moment.

regards,

Pedro

DK - Love you for trying this new fuel method, but it was kinda agreed that the "Compare fuel" method would probably be more hassle than it's worth and the best way to go was to have a screen that detects each tank in the model and then puts up a box in the client that allows you to put whatever amount you want in each tank and then it loads it that way or you have a total box and it loads it the way it has been.

I can't get the nescessary fuel i need loaded into the aircraft. I select that i need 50,000,lbs and it gives me 28,700lbs. I tried the other method too and it leaves me no fuel and cuts my engines......very frustrating, especially after spending an hour planning my flight around weather and such. I try and change the fuel amount, it stays at that amount for a split second and then reverts to 13101Kg if i try a lesser amount (below 13101kg's) it stays for a second and then goes to 0. I hope that helps someone figure it out. Oh btw im using PSS 757-300.

I preferred my original un-edited alternative version of the red text and explained the frustrations a bit more succinctly.

p.s. I thought substituting ss with $$ for missing letters ** in pi**ed was quite polite.

Strange... I've had no problem so far. I've done 2 flights with a Dash 8-400 from CYYJ - KLAX, 900+ NM. I used the "compare" option which I have no clue as to what that means. At the end of both flights I had aproximately 400 +/- gallons of fuel left and 20 million+ more in my bank account. :roll:

It happened to me last night too when opting for the old style. Ended up with zero fuel. Switched to the compare method and managed to fly my flight. (I wouldn't know if the client was robbing me though.)

Like your Village People style headgear Alky!!! :D

Well,the flight i did using the old style refuel cost me 440 billion v$,but luckily it didn,t take the money from my bank account.The fact that it didn,t take it from my bank account is probably another bug,but,a good bug.LOL
