Refuelling

[papy.rabbit.08]

Hello,

I noticed that several times, the preflight option to ajust the fuel quantity doesn't work. I don't know why sometimes it works and sometimes not. Has anyone also noticed that?

Should it be possible also to change the fuel quantity without going back to cold and dark when appliying settings?

Hi,

what exactly are you observing?

We have a fix for the plane spawning with 0 fuel inadvertantly.

We also have a fix for the center tank not filling/emptying on "realistic" speed.

Did you observe something different?

Thanks, Jan

Hi,

what I observed, is sometimes, when in cold and dark, or just after some early manipulation, I open the preflight menu, and change the fuel (for exemple to 0), and the apply the settings. So what happens is that the plane goes back to cold and dark, but often, the fuel stay the same, I have to do it once more, so it applies really the settings. And the other thing I was talking about is that if you do that late in your procedures, the problem, you have to get back to cold and dark for changing the fuel :/ (that is more a suggestion that a bug).

Tell me if you want something more! I can try to do a video (never did something like that).

Thanks!

Hi,

I will look for that behaviour - thanks for the report!

You know that you can always (while stationary on the ground) change the fuel in the GROUND SERVICES menu, don´t you???

Yes for sure, but you can add fuel, not withdraw! Or am I wrong? And what I always try to do, is have very few fuel or 0, so I can do a realistic refuelling, but the plane often start with a lot of fuel, so that's why I'm facing this problem :/

Thank you

[Litjan]

You can do both. Use instant if realistic is too slow (or doesnt work on the center tank)

Thank you, I discovered something, it works to remove some fuel with the ground services. But I can confirm, with the slider there's a problem, I tried again this morning. If you switch between typical and 0 fuel with appliying the settings each time, it doesn't always work.

Have a nice day.

Ok, I will take another look, thanks for the report!

Maybe it's related ... You'll be the judge ...

Version 1.03: In the Preflight menu, I set for about 2.5 hours of fuel. I click on "Set Typical" and click on "Apply Settings". After that, the 737 reboots and I lost the fuel settings.

Well, because when you set "typical" you get a "typical" fuel load. Which is most likely not what you have set up before.

Hello, here is illustrated what I wanted to explain in the beginning, if you switch between typical and empty, sometimes it doesn't work:

Ah, I see - we are incorporating some fixes to fuel loading in the next patch, lets see if it works better afterwards...

 

Thanks for the report, Jan
