Just completed KSEA - KHLN in the Headwinds A330-900. Fuel balanced throughout flight. Only problem a/c did not start out following flight plan I inputted from World map (I love that the -200 inputs waypoints for me. The Headwinds A330 used to). However, once I did a direct to the next waypoint it p...

Roger that. I have updated it (check daily, and with FBW and LFVR) but I wasn't paying attention to the FF when I flew it. I will fly it today and let you know.

I think after all this bug chasing I deserve an LFVR Test Pilot Certificate. I'll watch for it.

I always turn on all pumps, apu, and shut down apu after engine start, etc. Now that I know it's not a bug I will experiment and see if I can figure it out. I wasn't having this problem a few weeks ago with this a/c, or any of the other AB's.
Thanks for your time and interest.

So it's not the GE engines--just made a short flight as you requested--fuel was balanced for the whole flight. Something about starting at the gate apparently is the problem. Is that fixable? I don't necessarily have to start at the gate, end of the runway is ok, but I kind of like starting at the g...

Sure. Might be tomorrow.

Yes, APU off.
I just had a perfect flight from KBOI to KSFO. Fuel was perfectly balanced from TO to Gate. I was using the RR engines. Apparently for me the GE engines are the culprit. Everything operational in this flight was the same as the others excepting the engines.

Just flew KPHL - KORD. I used default livery, previous flights used American Airlines. I mention this because over the last six years (X-Plane 11 and MSFS 2020) I've had odd things happen apparently due to liveries. Got a fuel warning prior to taxi. Opened Sim weight/balance page and one tank had a ...

I am going to try loading a lot more fuel--like 50% for a one hour flight. I expect the fuel usage to still be whacko but maybe the low fuel warning won't appear.

Just completed KLAS - KSFO. Approx. 40 mins into flight on AP at FL360 Low Fuel warning illuminated. I selected Fuel screen, it showed rt main at 8k kg and left tank at 4k kg. This rate of use continued . I was solid instruments an an RNAV approach and got busy. When next I looked the situation had ...

I was on autopilot basically the whole flight after takeoff. I have no fuel controls on my flight stick, or anywhere else. I can't think of a thing that I did or could have done that could have caused this. I had seen all the previous post about fuel imbalance and figured my incident was related--th...
