Fuel Tank Problems

[Gary Childress]

As far as I can tell there seems to be a glitch where the fuel tank is full and connected to the engines via pipe and the engines don't seem to recognize that they can work now. I hit the shift key and it won't take off. I've tried closing and reopening the game and that works sometimes but it seems to be hit or miss in some cases. I haven't found the exact fix to it but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Have you been adding weight to your airship?

Use the airship tool. Equip it. Got it?
Good. Look in the upper right hand corner of your display
Two numbers will be there
one is maximum weight
other is current weight

Pretty sure you'll find the smaller one is the wrong one. ;-)

Personal anecdote: I rarely, if ever, look in the upper right hand of any display in any game.

Thanks for the reply. I think I found a workaround for when it happens, when it happens instead of just pushing the shift key to travel straight up I push the W key to move forward a little first and that seems to cause the ship to move if it doesn't respond to the shift key at first. It's a little strange. But it only happens occasionally.
