A36TP Fuel gauge in 2024

Kamow52

A big compliment on the fantastic Bonanza and Baron aircraft! I love them! I'll be flying both in 2020 and 2024.

After a few flights in 2024 with the A36TP, I noticed that the fuel gauge isn't working: With a total of 90 gallons loaded, no fuel consumption can be detected, neither on the analog gauge nor in the ETM.

This is working fine in 2020.

Thanks and regards,

I just checked, and everything seems in order over here. If you had said just the gauges, then I would ask if you were familiar with this statement on page ~160 of the manual:

The analog fuel instrumentation in the reciprocating engine version of this aircraft was designed for displaying fuel quantities up to 51 gallons in each main wing tank, but the turboprop conversion includes additional fuel cells in the extended wings. Each wing contains an additional 11 gallons of usable fuel that is not reflected on these fuel gauges.

However, if you claim that the ETM indicates no reduction in total fuel on board, then that is very strange. Have you checked the tablet's payload interface to see if there is any difference there?

Yes, I did that. Still no change! I filled both tanks with 45 gallons each.

Like I said, it works in 2020! As soon as the turbine is running, you can see the change on the ETM.
That will not be the case in 2024.

Addendum: the F/Flow display is working.

I tried several more tests, and everything still appears to be working. Silly question, but you don't happen to have the unlimited fuel option accidentally turned on in MSFS 2024?
