Hi simmers,I have a problem with my MD11 PAX in FS9. (using Windows XP)I can't get the simulated refueling under "FS ACTIONS SHORTCUTS" to work.When I select the option "REFUELING" under "FS ACTION SHORTCUTS", I only get the message "REFUELING NOT ALLOWED". I tried everything (Fuel system on manual / on automatic, external power on/off etc.) nothing works.The documentation does not help, I scanned all documents for refueling: The possible message "REFUELING NOT ALLOWED" is mentioned nowhere. I only found the alert message "REFUELING" when the refuel panel is armed.Does this mean, the refuel panel has to be armed first? How is that done? The Refueling section of the introduction manual does not mention this, neither the other documents I scanned.I also searched this forum and found nothing on this, so, am I the only one with this problem? or just the only one to stupid to figure it out?Any help would be appreciated,Torsten

Sorry, I forgot:MD11 PAX for FS9,I thought the "older" ones don't have the fs actions shortcut menus.Torsten

Are you on the ground with the engines off?Paul

Of course, I tried the following:1. I created a new flight with the MD112. I loaded the panel setting "cold and dark"3. I Turned on BAT + Emergency Power, this activates the MCDUafter that I tried the refueling, but as above "REFUELING NOT ALLOWED"4. I Connected External Power, Turn on GLY + normal EXT PWRafter that I tried... but "NOT ALLOWED"5. I activated AUX HYD pump to get hydraulicafter that "NOT ALLOWED"6. I rechecked and set Parking Brakeafter that "NOT ALLOWED"As I told above, I am out of ideas.It would be great to get some official feedback. Since the simulation does not CTD but gives the message "REFUELING NOT ALLOWED", this seems to be programmed for some purpose. So I need to learn of the guys who programmed this message, under which conditions it is activated.Thanks in advance for any help,Torsten

Have you told the FMS how much fuel to load using the FUEL INIT page of the FMS? Then using the FS Actions page to load the fuel via the FMS? Hope this helpsJR

Or you can switch to Manual I think it is. Its what ever is opposite of the current one.Taylor Oldham

Hi,Ensure you are in the correct mode of operation.AUTO, MANUAL and FMS.FMS mode is set via INIT Page 3MANUAL - you START/STOP the fuelling yourself after opening/closing desired inletsAUTO - you program the desired fuel weight and hit START. It will stop when the value is reached for each tank.Best regards,Robin.
