themadgamer Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 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? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

themadgamer Posted January 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Yes, I have seen that, but the truck does not come and there is no way to adjust quantity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themadgamer Posted January 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FYG001 Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited March 22, 2022 by FYG001 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FYG001 Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Happened to pass by one of our fuel trucks, and noticed that the panel looked very familiar! Well done Hotstart 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
