I have not heard about this before, I suggest sending us a ticket about that.

Iād like to ask if anyone flying the PMDG 777 on Xbox has been able to do a full flight without an Insufficient Fuel warning, or without running out of fuel?
Iāve not been able to complete any flights. I have a brand new clean install of MSFS Premium Deluxe (no Game Pass), with all World and City updates, and the PMDG 777-300ER. I have been using Simbrief, and have tried with live weather and also with āClear Skiesā pre-set so that there is no wind.
I am able to do plenty of long hauls in the 787 and A320neo without issue. Iād be happy to try to replicate a route that works in the 777, but I havenāt found one.
Yes. Many. I would suggest looking at the thread. Are you using time compression in cruise? There is an issue around that it seems.
Personally I have observed problems most times I have used time compression and have not had any (as far as I remeber) when I do not.

Lots of flights in live weather processed through SimBrief with enough fuel and no warnings. I donāt use weather presets when flying airliners where I will be uploading a SimBrief flight plan; and the upload is always of a fresh flight plan such that any weather data that SimBrief takes into consideration is current. Also, I sometime add some fuel as a factor, i.e., P03 or P05: Easy peezy, no worries. I also donāt concern myself with any known defects, leaving all that to PMDG to work out in good time as they seem to be aware of the fuel situation. Cheers!
are you using time compression?
Yes many without issues (at 1X or 2X). I use the default B77W profile and almost always I get to my destination with 16 Ton ~
Did a few flights at the beginning using 4X and causes excessive fuel consumption for some reason.
After trying various things I had good success when holding off using time compression until after completing the ascent to my first cruise altitude on a flight from OEMA to TNCM.
I then ran on x4 for quite a while over land and the Mediterranean and then switched up to x8 when I reached the Atlantic. I got my first fuel warning after an auto step climb sometime after this and then was forever adding fuel every few waypoints to keep things on track, whilst monitoring my ETOPS.
I canāt tell you what my fuel on landing was, as got a CTD on approach, which came out of nowhere but put this down to a memory issue as running series S.
Causation is not necessarily correlation but I put it down to climbing whilst using time compression.
Updates announced yesterday (Oct 3) for PMDG 777 should be available in Xbox Marketplace āmid-Octoberā.
Glad to see the navdata update is finally going to be fixed. Although itās an impressive list of fixes, there is no mention of the fuel burn issue. I have uninstalled the 777 and will try again when the update is available.

The fuel burn issue is a tricky one. We are unable to replicate the issue reliably, and people that reported the issue also tell us they do not see it in every flight. Clearly it has to do with time compression, as it only seems to happen when that is used. But why all processes can handle that and fuel burn sometimes getās confusedā¦
We are hoping that with more tickets reporting it, things will be more clear. So keep on reporting please.

OK, I can appreciate that.
When the update arrives on Xbox, I will pick a test route, and keep a record of everything so it can be used to replicate if need be.
