AP+ Fuel Burn Miscalculation

Whenever I fly in any aircraft and use AP+, the fuel burn isn’t calculated at all. If I turn on autopilot with 30,000 lbs of fuel in my tanks, and I come back 7 hours later, I will still have 30,000 lbs of fuel.

This is really problematic for me, especially since I prefer not to land over my MLW, and some aircraft do not have a fuel dump option. Can someone help me?

It’s known that AP+ calculates fuel conservatively. This will be addressed in future iterations.

The only issue is, it doesn’t calculate at all. But thanks for the help!

What aircraft are you using and does it happen every single time you use AP+?

Data gathering is key here, don’t settle for a vague statement as your final solution!

I just did a long haul on b737max from Boston to Geneva and mostly AP+, I feel it calculated alright for me

Any. B38M, A333, E75L, A321, A359, B77L, B77W, B789, B78X, etc. Every plane I try fails to use up fuel when I use AP+

I know this might be redundant, and maybe you already did this, but if you don’t mind losing your replays, deleting and reinstalling the app might help solve your issues. Sometimes resetting to the default can clear a wrench in the gears

Sure, I’ll try that soon
