Folks

Hope someone can help!!

I saw an add on a few weeks ago that acted like a refuelling tank was
filling your plane in real time in FS instead of you just typing in the
amount of fuel in FS itself.

I have asked on a few other forums but no one else has seen it.

Can anyone here help me, if only to prove I wasn't dreaming.

Thanks in advance

Simon

Many airports in Fight Simulator have a fuel pump. Stop your aircraft a few
momoments near the pump and your tanks are completely full of fuel. No
addons are neccessary since this has long been a standard feature of the
simulator. The effective area of this feature was, for many years, marked by
a bold yellow square, but many thought the square was unrealistic and in
Flight Simulator 2004 the earler boxlike three dimensional pumps and bold
yellow squares were replaced with a more detailed service island that often
includes a ladder and air hose reel.

With some planes you have to be carefull about stopping near the pumps.
Sometimes the weight of unessesary fuel makes it too hard to slow a plane
durring approach and landing. It's often preferable to take off with less
than a full load of fuel if your flight is significantly less than your
plane's maximum range.

I wonder if you perhaps mean the Fuel Loader utility from Simulation
Hardware who also do AVC Tuner?

I've not used it myself so I don't know if it is what you require but it
does say on the web page "Provide the ability to load Fuel into an aircraft
in more realistic fashion."

You can get there from their Homepage: http://www.simhardware.co.nz or this

Hope this helps,
