my aircraft crashed and when I restarted fuel is zero

[Tom Weiss]

do you guys know where the previous flight is stored ? maybe if I delete it I can fix this problem

[Boikat]

FSX does not store previous flights unless you save it yourself.  If you did that, all you have to do is open the "Load" find the saved flight and delete it, or you should be able to click on the "Fuel and Payload" and fill your tanks.  You should also be able to refuel using "Sift+F" if the airport has fuel service.

did that - the fuel is back to normal, the flight started with the engines dead and a click click noise when I tried to restart the engines

It is not the default flight, something happens when an aircraft crashes that when FSX restarts I find myself with a dead aircraft on the tarmac.

I am thinking maybe FSX saves the last state to some file that I could delete to restore it to zero condition

[Boikat]

As far as I know, the only thing it saves has to do with your flight times, take-offs, landings, and type aircraft.  I tried a few crashes, and on restat, the engines were running.  does tghis happen with all aircraft, or just one?

Are you running FSX with FSUIPC. FSUIPC is what creates the previous flight save. You can safely delete it  when you got the sim running, as Boikat said: all you have to do is open the "Load" find the saved flight and delete it. Or you can delete it from your: My Documents/Flight simulator X Files, just remove all three files that say previous flight.

What I belive most everyone does here is make ther own default flight, so you start with a cold/dark aircraft everytime....just creat a flight shut everything down  and name it something to your liking, click the save as default and your good to go. BUT, all good pilots always check for fuel before start-up [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I have FSUIP

as I'll crash again soon ... I'll try it , I had similar problems with A2A after a crash, this one was with Aerosoft Twin Otter.

there was I checking a texture I've made to see if it aligned properly when .... blaaaam !!!
