Fly Without FBO?

[themadgamer]

I prefer not to use a persistent state and just want to setup and fly like I do with other planes. When I do that, i am struggling with fueling the airplane. When I select fuel truck, I get the pop up that appears to be the fuel interaction screen, but I am unable to select what I want loaded. I am sure I am doing something wrong so any assistance would be great. Thank you!

Also, is there a way to use the FBO side of things and not keep the persistent state?

Have you accessed the refueling panel (on the wall behind the pilot’s seat)? You have to energize it and open the tank valves in order to take fuel.

Yes, I have seen that, but the truck does not come and there is no way to adjust quantity.

Refuelling, the easy method.

Can I piggyback on this thread and ask how you set pax/zfw the easy way?

You can set just set it in the default XP W&B menu.

Thank you for the response. If I do that, I still have to call a fuel truck? Or will it just fill and I stop it where I want it? My confusion is that I do not want to use career mode and there really is not a call a fuel truck option.

Here is to refuel from non-persistent mode (which is the mode I always use)

SELECT
Ground services-> refuel -> internal panel and,
Ground services -> refuel -> refuel truck
I put one window above the other and energize the internal panel, and set in Preset the required quantity in USG on the 'Fuel truck'. 
And press ENTER on the truck panel seems to be necessary to have the fuel truck stop at the preset quantity. 

LBS to USG

Handy rule of thumb to convert lbs to usg is to divide by 10, divide by two and add to the first value. E.g. 1500 lbs uplift required : 150 + 75 = 225 USG

Happened to pass by one of our fuel trucks, and noticed that the panel looked very familiar! Well done Hotstart
