'Can't Refuel in air' message during heavy take-off

[jamesfking]

I am using Win 7 64bit, FSX and PMDG 747. While I take-off for a long-haul flight, FSP show a message that 'Can't refuel in the air' then it will stop
response.

What do you mean, "then it will stop response"? Do you mean the message appears once and then doesn't show up again or FsPX stops running?

Strangely this happens to me on my PMDG 747, but I have just learnt to deal with it. I was nearly going post about this but you beat me too it

What happens is that just before takeoff FSP comes up saying, your not aload to refuel. What I do before takeoff is press Ctrl-X so you get this message
before takoff, so it doesnt mess up your flight. I believe the problem lies with FSX (thats if your using fsx) as it keeps reminding you that you dont have efficient fuel on-board and that you need to re-fuel, but I do as I use PMDG fuel loader. As far as I know it only happens to this aircraft, but i haven't tested on others. Im sure this can be resolved but not sure how?

thanks alot for the solution, hope there will be someone to provide the solution to fix it completely.

I've been thinking about actually "buying" a plane. No, really. Why is everybody laughing? Anyway. After years of tireless reasearch I have
come to the conclusion that though PMDG makes a fine plane and probably is a great bunch of guys their planes don't play well with
FSP. I welcome someone to change my mind.

It plays well with FsP but there are problems with FsPX as mentioned in the previous posts. People have found "work arounds" for the fueling issue but
I don't know if Dan is planning to investigate this further with FsPX. I can definitely attest to the fact that I have had zero fueling issues with
FsP and the PMDG MD-11 or 747. I don't have any PMDG products for FSX yet. Frankly, I rarely use FSX anyway. I am trying to save up enough scratch to
buy a super computer to run the freak'n sim
