Mission - Unexpected error occurred - Error Code: 309-400-00201

Hi all post edit can confirm this error is from adding fuel in flight via repair and add fuel when in company mode, I was like lets see, added the fuel and a few seconds later bam error code

YOU SIR are a GENIUS! This worked for me. So frustrating that MICROSOFT cant figure out a way to add fuel to a plane in simulator without it crashing, let alone having even the “Realistic Option” of refueling a cessna 172 in the air… good grief!

Thank you for the bug report.

Current workaround while this bug is being fixed: Use the “add fuel” button instead of repair and add fuel.

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

This issue continues to happen to me every time with Cessna 208B. After a 2h flight, landed and the error appears on hold short. Didn’t touch fuel configs, neither repair and refuel or even add fuel, and it just happens every time. It’s completly unacceptable that Microsoft doesn’t even recognize this is an issue and classifies this as “feedback” instead of a bug. Carreer mode is just broken you don’t seem to care.

Same issues… usually for cargo missions. Happens randomly during flights and after skipping to decent to final (Alt-N).

Hi all, is anyone else experiencing these issues?
In career mode, I now own my aircraft. Started my company, went on my first sight seeing flight when, again, the flight froze. You can tell when it happens, a light or knob will light up on the dash. Some controls still work, but most do not. Sometimes it will stop and un-freeze in time to save the flight. Not this time! my first flight with my new company, plane crashed into the local interstate road! lol
I am playing FS24 on the xbox series X.
Any ideas if this is a hardware issue?

This is issue is not exclusive for the “Repair and Refuel” keybind usage. I never had this problem for the last 3 weeks and at some point I had to use the Repair after a hard landing in a Freelance Cargo mission and 2 minutes later got the 00201 error. But ever since I get the unexpected error in almost every flight even without using the “Repair and Refuel” button. Now I noticed that before the error, the game displays the “Low bandwith…” warning and few minutes later pops the error.

This game is a massive time wasting.
