Been there!!! I believe your fuel tanks zeroing out can be remedied with the fsacars settings.

I don't have FSPassenger but I used to fly FSEconomy sometimes and run into the same frustrations. With FSEconomy you are simulating a real pilot making money from flying so you want to assure each flight is "economical." You have a few hours to make a flight so you research what cargo and passengers are available to fly, you string several legs together to make it worthwhile, you calculate your revenue vs your expense (a/c rental, fuel, ramp workers, etc.) of doing the flight, and you finally settle on a series of flights. Now with calculations in hand you go back to reserve the flights only to find that someone else has taken one of your legs which forces you to replan and recalculate the whole thing over again :evil: . Or the other case is you have it all worked out, you reserve the flights, but now you realize you spent 2hrs. planning these flights and don't have time now to fly them :cry: .

Really? You made money?

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Oh yes, I made money. That's why it took and hour or so of planning to assure I had all the legs correct with the cargo/passenger revenue calculated, and the expenses outlined. I always made money once I completed my total route.
