Fuel amount not working

[Roaring40s]

Hello,

 

It looks impossible to load the A300 up to 90 % with fuel.

If I load the plane in the MSFS menu up with no cargo and a lot of fuel, it is possible without trim disturbances to load fuel till 95 %.

When the plane is in cold start mode loaded on the parking or ready for take-off, the fuel in the plane is always stuck at 11 %. To move the slider in the weight menu doesn't work (tried both options in settings menu: fuel unlimited/limited). Thus refueling doesn't work.

On the tablet the fuel panel option is also without function (becoming red if you click it). And I tried it with realistic fueling and without realistic fueling; nothing works with fuel.

The workago suggested before to refuel on APU with engines shut down isn't working for me.

I am on Windows PC, I don't use Simbrief and the airplane version is Version 1.1.2 released July 22, 2024 Built using sim version 1.37.19.0.

 

I saw on this forum that this issue was several times mentioned as a problem some years ago and was acknowledged by IniBuilds.

But it is still a problem, it makes this plane not useable. I have the same problem the A310 by the way. 

 

So please, is there some help or solution?

Hi @Roaring40s

Please use the Weight & Balance app on the aircraft EFB for Fuel & Payload management on the A300. Same is applicable to the A310. 

Do NOT use the sim's Weight & Balance window for that. This window is not indicative of the actual fuel & payload logic of the aircraft, which should only be manipulated via the EFB Weight & Balance app.

Thanks!
