Fuel stop

Post by asamra » Sun Oct 23, 2011 7:28 am

hi guys
yesterday i participated in the LPPT-KBOS event on IVAO.

the problem is that the fuel gauge of the 747 default FSX and FSA client stoped reading at 58000KG, i bought in total for departure 70000KG planing on arrival 10000kg and the flight was marked for review, after that who reviewed my flight assumed that i landed with the 58000kg witch is not true and giving me a big penalty in payment and also the client give me the taxi overspeed on connect at a gate!!

I reviewed that flight, we re-calculated the fuel usage based on averages for that aircraft, but no penalty was applied.

Make sure you're running FSX as an administrator. 99% of the time that is the problem.

This sounds normal, FSX rounds your fuel to the nearest .1%, therefore 3kg is a reasonable amount to lose if you are on the underside of that .1%

FSX only rounds the fuel when you open the fuel window and then it only rounds to the nearest tenth of a gallon/liter depending on your settings. Otherwise, it operates to the pound/kilo with no rounding.

Hallo

We have any Problems like this here with the Tupolev(Tu-134) A3, ...
The FSA Client say the that the Fuelsections full . But the Plane cannot start, or the Engines going off. The Fuel Plan of the Tu-134A3 in the Client i think is not correct. What help for this Problem is the best?

Regards Inana

The client only reads what's in the aircraft.cfg file. If you're having problems, then you need to take it up with the developer of the airplane or you need to use the FS fuel and payload manager instead of the client to fuel the plane.
