This too bizarre!!
You gotta be kidding me... my first flight with FlyNet, in a Cessna 206, I overspend on fuel and it costs me almost as much as I paid for the plane????!!!

HA!!,, Yeah this happened to me also last week with a Dove. I filled the tanks and on my first flight, lost me shirt BIG time. I had the Airline in red ink to the tune of,, well I just looked and it was only 1,500 v$ but, I had a bunch of fuel left over and flew the thing on the line until it was nearly empty. In the end we made a bunch of money on the 'series' of flights. Or, put another way, the tank of fuel ended up making us Money..
I did the same in an HS-748 too.
How much fuel do you have left?

Yes.
Alky, I suggest you read the FAQ, and the Newbie guides (Kiwaroo Fuelling, and the one written by me), not that I doubt that your smart, but the system here is a bit different than FSE.

Your loss will easily be recouped on your next flight.
Cheers!

Try this,
Go to the flynet site and look at your 'fleet'. You will see the Aircraft in question and it will give an over view of the plane. Fuel on board, airworthiness , [in %] and registration number and so on. If you filled a C 206 and only flew a short flight, you will have a lot of fuel left.
When you sign in for your next booked flight and are prompted to refuel the Aircraft, it will tell you the amount of Fuel currently in the wing's. If there's enough fuel for your next flight, leave the amount shown and hit re-fuel.
Remember, you only pay for fuel above and beyond what is already in the tank's. In other word's, if you need 350kg to make a flight and when you sign in, the Aircraft already has 250kg in it, you would enter 350kg for the total amount needed for your flight but you will only be charged for 100kg [because you already owned/paid for the 250kg of fuel in the tank.}.
Hope that helps. I've got a Trident 3 to fly to Finland, I'm up late a lot and I'll check back in later..
happy flyin' Bro, and welcome to Flynet

Hi Commander,
It seems we were typing at about the same time. That read will help him a great deal.
Say, who are those babes in your Avatar Photo? I dig the hat also..
Seriously, thanks for all your help. You stay on your gig nicely and are very patient and helpful. But I still want to know who the pretty girl's are

I entered a lower amount thinking I had to only have as much as I needed to get to my destination. I guess the client dumped the rest. Well I finished the flight and finally got my money back. Thanx for your help Ivan and Commander, the procedures seem a little confusing.ivanT3 wrote:

They seem that way, but it's actually pretty accurate to the real world except for the fact that the plane start out with empty tanks, so your first flight ever in the plane will usually end up in a loss, but every flight after that will have a good profit.
On the C208 and other small airplanes, the best thing to do is fuel the plane with enough fuel to make all of your legs on one tank (if possible) and then not take fuel in-between unless you are burning more than you planned. This way you make maximum profit on your subsequent legs and they will make up for the "lost" revenue from the first flight and then some (I've flown routes in the 208 using both the above method and the "normal" method, so it's from experience). The 208 gets about 4 hours of endurance with IFR reserves, so you can normally get at least 3 legs out of a tank. Just remember that the client tracks how much is left when you're done, so when you load up the client, the quantity shown is how much is in the tanks. Download if you have to (for weight) but you don't get the fuel back if you do.
