Hi,

If the client detects an increase in fuel then it will attempt to reset the fuel to the previous value. If the client is unable to do so after 10 attempts then your flight will be aborted.

I think in FSX there is a setting to automatically refuel the aircraft it the fuel level gets to low. Make sure that is turned off, and make sure you get enough fuel to start with.

1) It's not a bug.

2) We can't fix it. Only PMDG can by fixing their program which bypasses FS in its operation and uses "tricks" to make the plane seem to operate correctly when it doesn't. Please view the multiple threads (just search PMDG) that explains the situation.

no, its just a message that pops up saying you can add fuel by hitting crtl + X. nothing automatically does it.

I don't have PSS Concorde but have a theory about this. If PSS use non-standard tank arrangements and have created a ballast tank not recognised by the client, if you subsequently transfer fuel from this un-recognuised tank to a recognised tank then the client will detect an increase in fuel. Possibly the client aborted the flight during a fuel transfer for c of g purposes?

That could be the reason if it's really like that. Could you please send me the fsairlines_debug.out in your Client directory ? (to konny@fsairlines.net)

Had the same thing come up. So, taking your thoery into consideration, I dumped all the fuel from the FS9 Aircraft menu, then restarted the client with the client putting the fuel in. I hope this is a solution. I'm flying as of this post. Next flight, we'll see.

Thanks for the input.
