How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)? Always

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Load the A320neo v2 at a parking stand or gate and turn on batteries/power

  2. Load max fuel in the EFB (19050 kg)

  3. Observe after loading the FOB in the ECAM reports 12420 kg instead of 19050 kg and in the “FUEL” info page shows empty center tank.

[1.6.22.0 Regression] Loading Fuel/Payload on the Inibuilds A320/21/330 no longer works via their EFB
2

Still reproducible in 1.6.13.0

Microsoft A320neo same problem with Su3. is there a bug ?

4

And what if you use the inibuilds EFB on payload ? That’s how I do, It correctly change the fuel in the EFB just after

5

It happens when loading fuel in the inibuilds cockpit EFB. Try loading max fuel and see what happens (compare the EFB’s fuel weight with what the ECAM FOB meter says)

Also, can confirm it still happens in the latest SU4 build. Only the A320neo is affected, the A321LR can be fully loaded with fuel without any issues.

I think this is also not a SU4 specific issue anymore. But I don’t really want to go back to SU3 just to verify it.

Indeed I tried this afternoon and the center tank is never filling up, but I’m also on SU4 I can’t say if It’s an old bug or not

8

Still happens in 1.6.19.0. I guess this issue will require an aircraft update.

Can replicate, center tank shows zero even if we can initially see 6631 kgs. The green color on the main EFB (the one to the right) page maybe indicate an issue. That value change to 0 once aircraft is powered up.

No issue in FS2020:

Thank you for the bug report.

We have created an internal ticket to see if our team already has this logged, and if not they will attempt to reproduce the issue and create a new bug report. This item is now marked as feedback-logged. If there is an existing bug report or one is created, we will move this thread to bug-logged.

With latest build 1.6.22.0 it seems center tank does not drain anymore but the fuel weight on the ECAM fuel page is flickering between 0 and the actual weight:

14

In the latest SU4 build (and aircraft version 6.22.0), it still appears to be broken but in a different way.

One major issue in 6.22.0 is that only loading fuel through the Asobo/MSFS EFB seems to affect the FOB gauge in the ECAM and upper DU. Loading fuel through the inibuilds/in-cockpit tablet does not seem to have an effect anymore.

When the center tank is loaded, the fuel page in the ECAM glitches and indicates either 0 or the actual value.

A separate bug in this version is that the “ready for takeoff” panel state does not seem to start the engines. It is still possible to first select the “on APU” state and then start the engines.

Issue has been reported here: 1.6.22.0 Loading Fuel/Payload on the Inibuilds A320/21/330 no longer works via their EFB

You should create a new report for that issue.

Can someone confirm if this issue is fixed in v1.6.0.25??

I read the Release Notes, but it indicates there was a similar problem resolved with the in-sim flight planner, but I think there is still an issue with the Inibuilds EFB not allowing centre tank fuel to take place as it reverts back to 0 on the ECAM after 1-2 secs after initial loading of the fuel tanks.

The v1.6.0.25 Release Notes for SU4 states “In the Flight Planner app, fixed an issue where not enough fuel would be loaded with more complex fuel tank configurations.”

There was no mention in the latest Release Notes that the Inibuilds EFB was fixed or anything related to A320NEOv2.

Thanks for any confirmation/clarification.
