Save it, and start the mission. The fuel will not be added yet.
Now, the trick: Press ESC and restart the mission - Now, when you enter the plane, the fuel you had set is added to your aircraft. Enjoy longer flights!
Let me know if it works by liking the message, or inform of anything else that might help you until the issue is fixed.
EDIT:TBM has a separate fuel issue where it constantly starts with 0 fuel. In order to fix this, you will need to load up a free flight in the TBM for your active session, with fuel, then go back to carreer mode and it will have the same amount there. OR, go into keybinds and add a keybind for âRepair and refuelâ and click that to fill your tanks before takeoff.
Thanks for the tip about add fuel.. I just canât comprehend what the develoepers are thinking..? This is the same issue we had with the bush trips in 2020..
I cannot believe that these missions/career mode are made by anyone who understands anything about flightsimming otherwise you would immediately see such a obvious error..
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OPâs steps to reproduce it?
⢠Yes
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
⢠Even with mixture on full lean fuel qty is not sufficient
If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
⢠Private transfer #FCW2811 - Big Bear City for example no where near enough fuel and no option to increase amount. Mission is therefore impossible and incredibly frustrating given the amount of time it takes too complete only to run out of fuel en route
I dont know if this accurate or not - they may have added unlimited fuel to career? I was just in a 172, icing like crazy, so burning way more than expected to keep speed up. Hit low fuel 100nm out. Figured I was done for - but hey, see how it goes and try to add the fuel for a restart..
I was red barred the last chunk of the flight, but the engine kept on going. Just an FYI if someone wants to try that out next time theyâre low on gas for a trip.
You got lucky - thatâ's all. I have had engine shutting down from depleted fuel and others mentioned they suffered failed missions for this reason too.
Those who can just use the binding to force fuel on missions now since the actual mechanic for fuel managment is broken.
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OPâs steps to reproduce it?
⢠YES

⢠example: When i Add 2/3 Fuel to it via Managment in the mission, later i see in the C172 that i only have 40% loadedâŚ
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
The aircraft fuel level cannot be changed using Career mode aircraft Management tool nor EFB. The fuel level is always set to half the capacity of the aircraft fuel tank, in some situations the issue can cause the Player to crash their aircraft as the fuel runs out before reaching the destination.
Honestly, itâs unacceptable that a game like MSFS 2024, which is supposed to set the standard for simulation, has a career mode this poorly thought out. Hereâs my experience: I took on a medical transport mission lasting about 3 hours and 30 minutes. The fuel was preloaded and obviously insufficient. Before the flight, I did my own calculations, as I like to approach things realistically, and it was clear the fuel wouldnât be enoughâeven without considering the safety reserves that should always be included.
Despite knowing this, I started the mission and managed my fuel as carefully as possible. However, a small portion of the flight with headwinds made things even harder. The result? I ran out of fuel at the runway threshold of the destination airport, after nearly 4 hours of flying for nothing.
How did the developers overlook such a basic feature as fuel management before the flight? Itâs not like it would be difficult to implement. This is absurd. I really hope they address this soon, because right now, itâs just incredibly frustrating.
It only takes two hours of playing the game to notice this issue. How can developers overlook something so obvious? Why is it becoming a trend to release unfinished games? Itâs completely unacceptable. Iâm frankly tired of this kind of thing.
To extend this report further, another plane heavily affected is the TBM970 - which is an obvious problemm for passenger/airliner flights. You donât have 1 hour of fuel even, and most flights will be around 2 hours.
I wasnât able to get the restart mission to give any fuel or any hotkeys⌠but I got an idea as soon as I posted. I was able to use simconnect to set the fuel.
200 (>A:FUEL TANK LEFT MAIN QUANTITY,gallons) 200 (>A:FUEL TANK RIGHT MAIN QUANTITY,gallons)
400 gallons was what i needed. why this works and not ADD_FUEL_QUANTITY is beyond me. maybe the kvar is locked behind realism?
I have the same issue. Also adding fuel using the management button and fuel up to my liking does not work. It costs then money, but does not change the starting quantity.
Since career mode only works with live weather and heavy winds have to be expected, fuel is very often an issue.
If you buy a Daher TBM it will only appear without fuel at mission start.
For now I have bound a key to add fuel. Iâm not sure if I"m being charged for it or not. For me the management screen, nor the efb, or anything else works once in the flight.
