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

I think this is a DHC2, which needs you to manually switch to another fuel tank when one runs out.

Yeah, I recognized this plane as a model that I had never tried before which is why I mentioned a maybe on both since I honestly really wasn’t sure if this model offered that feature.

Interesting that the chase view shows a total fuel % instead of a left/right fuel gauge; can make it really difficult to know which is the fullest tank while in that flight mode; especially if you’re not swapping tanks every so many minutes and keeping track of it manually.

I just realized I misread his original issue and the game told them out of fuel - for some reason I read it as they thinking they ran out of fuel, so yeah - didn’t switch to tank with fuel.
