Good morning. Before the latest update, I was flying KLAX to YBBN (round trip) with the A330 without any issues. Since the update, whenever I resume a flight using AutoPilot+, it shows that I’m out of fuel.
This has happened about three times so far. On my last attempt, I even loaded maximum fuel well above what the flight requires but I still encountered the same issue.
Has anyone else experienced this or found a solution?

Try to decrease the passengers and cargo. I did the flight with around 200 pax and cargo, had more than enough fuel
+You could plan a really long climb and slow cruise speed to save some more fuel
Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. Before the update, I was running the same setup with the same fuel load and passenger count and everything worked perfectly. But since the update, I keep running into “out of fuel” issues even with similar conditions.
Hmm I heard the A330s engine specs got boosted a bit, could be the cause
I’m waiting for a staff member to respond also, so I can get an update on this issue
The A333’s fuel burn (non AP+) decreased about 20% with the most recent update, so this is interesting.
Thanks again for the suggestion. I even switched to the Boeing 787-9, but I ran into the same out-of-fuel issue again after the update.
It seems like I can’t use Autopilot+ for long flights, if I want to complete them, I have to keep the app open the whole time.
Looks like I’m also having a similar problem on my end.
Was flying from RJAA to PHNL on the A380 and I took off with 100% fuel but when I came back, I had less than 5% fuel left and I had no choice but to divert to PHLI to refuel because the ETE indicated that I would not make it to Honolulu.
Unfortunately, I’m getting the same error too. I hope it gets fixed soon because it’s really bothering me!
removed all passengers and cargo and used maximum fuel, but the issue still remains. As I mentioned earlier, this wasn’t happening before last week’s update.
I installed the hotfix this afternoon and the aircraft is currently in flight—I’ll update again in the morning.
Also, I noticed that after resuming the flight 2–3 hours in, the fuel was showing only 20 kg Usage
During the flight (if you are using Simbrief), are you staying below or above the given altitude, and what is your exact speed during the flight?
I just shared an updated screenshot
I think IF should take a look on it. I when I land I forget to check how much fuel I have and always I above MLW and happens with all the aircraft. I usually have to do Fuel Dump before 7000 feet.

same with me using the 777. Before update, I always land with tons of fuel maybe around 20% fuel, but this time i land with only 5% fuel and almost no fuel at all. Luckily I managed to land before the fuel ran out.
I experienced this situation myself, and based on my observations, let me explain: If Simbrief gives you, for example, 36k feet, and you stay below or above 36k during the flight, you will remain above MLW.
Hopefully we will get a hot-fix for this fuel issue.
Same issue here with 787-10. Took off with 8:20 hours of fuel for a 5:40 hours long flight, landed with just 2 tons of fuel(~25 minutes of fuel)
