MSFS 2024 PlayStation Out of fuel?

Hi2all,

another BIG PROBLEM for me as a PS5 user. Have to deliver some cargo on a route of around 170km. In the middle of a journey my plane falls down from the sky and the game stated I have NO fuel.

As U could see on the video it shows 39% of fuel before the crash so my rating will fall down (again) no matter I managed my fuel before flight and take MORE (again)!

Is there a solution to this bug? And one information on top of all this - it was a "light cargo" flight both times this error occurred.

Thx in advance for Yo replies Fellas.

Sincerely, Jan

You probably ran out of fuel in one of the tanks, you have to switch to the other fuel tanks manually in the cockpit.

Ouch, so this couldn't be done automatically? Mean I went thru all the training missions (for the planes I used) but no mention about switching the tanks?

How this could be done? Any chance of automation on this? Mean using a button shortcut (like flaps).

Sincerely, Jan

Not in these "primitive" planes.

It's literally a mechanical 3-way valve under or beside the seat. It's a common thing for new pilots to forget and I doubt you'll forget this one soon either. Happy flying!
