Fuel runs out due to trim tank

Post by AviationLife » Fri Nov 03, 2023 10:20 pm

Hello,
after the update I had the problem again that I ran out of fuel. The fuel that would have easily been enough for the descent and landing was not pumped forward. It was around 4400kg and I was already in descent. I also calculate the fuel using your Simbrief profile P16.

We are working on improving fuel burn so its accurate, but the issue you mention, fuel should be automatically moved forward when DES mode is activated, it did not happen?

No, that didn't happen. As a result, my engines failed during the descent even though there was still 4400kg of fuel in the trim tank. I then quickly filled up fuel via the EFB so that I could land safely. I play on the Xbox Series X.
