I was flying from OMDB TO SBGR when I return to complete my it says 30 min remaining and fuel didn’t burn according to flight when I try to dump the fuel at 7000 above it says cannot dump fuel when I exit it was pushing me back to 30 min position where i return
Hey there!
Sorry to hear you are having difficulties with the autopilot. Just to confirm, in the screenshot you are at cruise altitude (or near it)?
almost 30 min remaining to landing when i resumed when i tried to reduced to load was not allowing to do and didnt burn the fuel
What aircraft were you in? Was fuel dumping an option in the engine menu?
a380 ,yes at 7000 i tried it didn’t reduced weight
If you were at 7000ft exactly it probably won’t work as it needs to be 7000ft above ground level - I would climb a bit higher.
It may also help to set “Altitude AGL” in the status bar so you can see when you are firmly above it.
i tried on 8000 too didnt work my question is why aircraft didnt burn fuel and why it pushed me 30 min before location where i resumed
As I mentioned it’s 7000ft above ground level - so depending on the terrain, 8000ft may not be high enough.
There are known problems with AP+ and fuel burn. It needs tweaking. Hopefully we will see an improvement in future updates.

That would’ve been the last “saved” point before you no longer met the AP+ requirements. So it sent you to that point when you resumed the flight.
everything was ok when i resumed i was at 35000 AGL ,VNAV not armed 32 min remaining speed was ok on flight path i don’t know what went wrong i have a replay of all flight i exited when i fail to land due to overweight when i exited after it pushed me previous location
That makes sense though. The last saved location would’ve been ~30 minutes before your destination. So therefore, when you exited mid-descent it sent you back to that last saved point.
I believe it only “ends” the flight if you actually land at the airport and park.
when we file a flight plan from sim brief why it does not show correct weight like it was adjusting before it doesn’t adjust fuel passenger like in previous version am i correct
I’ve had no issues with the fuel weight.
Passenger and cargo weight can sometimes be a bit off because Infinite Flight’s payload (pax & cargo) weight values differ from Simbrief’s slightly.
but why it why it didnt burn fuel it should have been 27 or 25 percent load during that time at 14 hrs it only consumed 7 hrs of fuel it shows 45 percent
There are known issues with AP+ and fuel burn. The staff are aware of it.
