    Hello,

    I noticed that when I charge about 30% of fuel while preparing my navigation (Weight & balance screen), after loading to the airport, the fuel gauge is set at about 15-20%.
    A big discordance between pre-flight setting and on situation in cockpit !

    Did you notice the same ?

    Can't say that I experience the same problem. The maximum fuel capacity is 77 gal (38.50 gal per tank). If I select 30% of fuel for each tank, that is 11.55 gal per tank, then the fuel gauge is just right of the 10 gal mark. So it looks about right.

    Please note that the fuel gauge indicates gallons, not percentages. Did you perhaps mix those up?

    Might be the aircraft reverting to the state it was in at the last flight including fuel levels...

    As mentioned, do you have state saving on the EFB enabled?

    Yes, I have state saving.
    But if state saving is enabled, that also means that refueling in preflight is useless ?

    But might also be the fact I mixed % and fuel level... I will check again.
    Thanks for your lights

    @Biokerozen I just checked this. It is in fact the state staving. Not a bad thing IMO. In a real plane after calculating the fuel needed in your flight plan, you would then taxi over or call a fuel truck to get the required fuel needed after doing your pre-flight checks.

    Ok thanks for the tests.
    Does this means that the payload screen is useless if the state saving option is checked ?

    If you have state saving enabled, you'll need to use the payload pop-up menu after the flight has been loaded and the aircraft state restored.

    I think he talks about the pop-up accessed by the horizontal menu while you have load the scenery and you are in the cockpit 😉

    @Biokerozen ah, okay, thanks. I wasn't sure if there was a custom menu for the Arrow he referenced. I use the fuel menu every flight to load the correct weight for the pilot and the baggage, and check and adjust the fuel state as needed.
