right engine loses power after empty center tank

Post by Plantsaredead » Sun Sep 04, 2022 4:21 pm

When the plane is fully fueled and the middle tank is emptied in flight, the right engine loses power a short time later. The A321 then decelerates and begins to descend.

I hope you can fix the error 🙂

Perhaps this is due to the fact that you are trying to source fuel from that tank.

Shut off the fuel pumps from the center before you run out of fuel there.

Deactivating the center fuel pumps works and the engine does not lose any power :)

Hi to all, i’ve bought your a321 neo but after last update i have some problems, if i delete fbw model i have black screen in the cockpit, if i use fbw shortly after take-off the fuel runs out and the right engine loses power until it is turned off. I’ve tried to deactive central pump but no results. Also, even if the menu shows that it has 100% fuel, once in the game it only has 4%. How do I resolve these issues? I'm not interested with or without fbw, but I want to use your product I bought. Thanks

Re-install the plane again and make sure no FBW remnants are present. Let us know

See if that happens when the center tank is empty


Work arround:
Disable the center tank fuel pump before the center tank is empty

Will the error be corrected so that the work around no longer has to be done?
