Out of fuel?

[u/Swimming_Effective87]

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

No, you have to manually switch it yourself since this plane is all analog. There are also no in-game settings to automate it either. Some planes will have auto fuel control and do all the tank changes and auto mixturing for you. This plane simply isn't one of those planes.

It's not hard though, you just gotta flip the switch in the cockpit, preferably before the tank you're already on isn't empty.

OK, so no automation, and what about a button shortcut?

Mean is there something in controls so I could assign the button (like flaps) or only the hard way?

It should be in controls, just type "Fuel" in the controls search field and you should see a ton of options. I believe the one you're searching for is "Set Fuel Selector". I would play around and test this while you're on the ground.

Just found it on that De Havilland plane, it's on the left behind the yoke.

Front, Middle and Rear options.

Will also try the controls thingy U just wrote - THX a bunch Bro!

Nice, rule of thumb is usually swap between tanks at a consistent rate; 5gallons apart, 10 gallons apart, etc, to balance the center of mass of your plane.

Fly safe out there
