Context: H145, H160 loaded from Community. H225 is impacted but there is a workaround to set fuel coded in, which conflicts with whatever the sim just did prior.
Similar MSFS 2020 issue: Works on MFS20
Bug description: The aircraft has all fuel removed when clicking “Ready to fly” for a runway start. It works fine when starting manually on the ramp.
Repro steps:
Install H145 or H160
Load a flight on the runway
click Ready to fly
Expected: Aircraft has 50% fuel in all tanks
Actual: Aircraft has almost no fuel in only some of the tanks. The fuel is removed when clicking ready to fly. The user must add fuel manually.
In MSFS 2020, the aircraft was spawned on the runway directly, only relying on runway.flt
In MSFS 2024, there is now a taxiway RTC before you click “Ready To Fly”. Taxi.flt is therefore loaded.
On the H145, taxi.flt contains a [Fuel.0] section with selector positions but no [FuelSystem.0] section.
In this situation, the sim falls back to legacy system and tries to load [Fuel.0] fuel levels, setting 0 everywhere as it can’t find any values in the FLT.
Defining a FuelSystem section, just like you did in your runway.flt will solve the issue.
I will have this looked at in case we can avoid such regressions.
Thanks for this information. I’ve edited my taxi.flt file and it solved the problem. I didn’t even recall having such a file as I wasn’t aware it was ever used in 2020.
