Re: Long Distance Fuel Flow

Yes, that was it. After I fueled up the Center Tank on the fly, it landed with the correct amount of fuel remaining. Thank you so much for the help!

Re: Long Distance Fuel Flow

Is there a fix for that? Or is that just the way the plane was programmically created?

Re: Long Distance Fuel Flow

OK. I tried it again, and with all tanks full, I was only able to get 8 hours and 28 minutes of flight time. The trip is usually 11-14 hours, depending on the winds

Thank you. I'll be looking forward to your findings.

Re: Long Distance Fuel Flow

Yes, I have done that. Please see attached screenshot. It is just a few thousand pounds over what the LVFR A340-300 can handle, but I was completely out of fuel almost 1,000 nautical miles from my destination
