X FMC Fuel Management is not working

[Captain Jamez]

Hello all,

I just bought XPlane11 and downloaded X FMC. Everything works fine except of the fuel management. I don't know what I am doing wrong... If I go to the "Weight and Balance" Settings on the top of the screen, I can set my fuel weight to the amount I need... But If start the X FMC Performance Ref afterwards, I can see how the "Ground weight" value drops. The calculated and planed fuel is much lower than what I need. With these settings I can take off and fall back to the ground, but not more. But in X FMC I can not put in a value for the fuel I need.

 

Can anybody help me please? I can't find an answer on the internet...

Thanks

have you tried the included customized proprietary FMC?

why would you use X-FMC with the IXEG? that generic thingy used for less demanding entry level aircraft add-ons has got way less functions besides the fact that it is not compatible to my latest knowledge 

Are you maybe mixing up IXEG 737 Classic and the EADT 737?

First I downloaded EADT x737 V5.1.1 (and only this plane )from here:https://www.eadt.eu/index.php?x737-700-aircraft

After that I downloaded the XFMC. As I said I can't type anything in the Performance References in XFMC. It calculates the fuel amount itself (but it is way not sufficient!).

Where can I find the "included customized proprietary FMC"? Is it in the XFMC Plugin?

As a test I removed the XFMC from my plugins and started the game with the x737 I mentioned above. The generic FMC in this plane doesn't seem to work... It's just black while all the other screens are working fine.

I am absolutely new to this game!

 

Thanks for your help!

IXEG and EADT are two developers, their planes are also very different. Whilst the EADT free version is pretty good for free-ware, there is a big difference in terms of quality. check the link provided in above post, and if you want an add-on from a different league check out the IXEG if you are willing to invest a bit, I can only recommend it
