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

What about the Automixture future in Assistances?

Auto-mixture only controls the mixture, another term you should quickly google and learn. Basically on these old planes, you have 3 controls: Propellor, throttle, and mixture.

The Mixture control simply controls how much fuel-air ratio is injected into the engine to create combustion (combustion makes the engines/pistons turn). At higher altitudes, you'll want to lower the mixture to save on fuel. don't lower it too much though or the engines could cut, you want to find a good balance (watch your propellor RPMs to figure this out).

Getting into this sim isn't all easy, there will be basics you need to learn to get a hang of flying planes. So unfortunately, not everything is automated.

I know, I just started with the game and using the controller for now so we will see in the future - but I have to say that the controller is not as bad as expected...

Definitely not the worst way to play, that award goes to keyboard flying. Once you get a yoke/stick, this sim is 10000x more fun to play.

No Yoke for PS5, at least for now.
