I read the fuel consumption post, but...

I know I'm setting the fuel tanks properly, but everytime I fly, I get a message, "your fuel is critically low, press Ctrl X now". I get this message every minute or so.

Anyone know what's going on, or what I should do?

Thanks
Gus

I get this as well..."fuel critically low in the selected tank. Press CTRL-X now to refuel"... and it comes up every minute or so whether you press ctrl-X or not.
I've had to resort to turning on unlimited fuel in FS for the moment.

Please make sure you follow the Manual step by step and that you configured fuel using ACE editor.

Okay, I have read the manual again and I get the same problem. The only workaround is to remove the external tanks. With the ext. tanks gone, I no longer get the message. It does cut down on travel time though.

I think when the external tanks run out, no fuel gets transferred from the internal tanks. I will investigate further.

Thanks

This is a conflict of our custom fuel system logic and default MSFS warning messages. Please juct turn them off. Sorry for inconvenience.
