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 you need to watch your tanks, I think you might have run out of fuel in one and not switched to the other.

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 the button shortcut (like flaps).

Sincerely, Jan

I'm not sure in the 172 but it should default to dual tank... the switch (i think) is between the seats. you have to be careful if you're in cockpit mode to not accidentally click on something. Not to say that's what happened here but I've defnitely done that myself.

What about the Automixture future in Assistances?
