Is there a way to use XML to lighten the fuel load? :(

http://msdn.microsof...ircraftFuelDataAccording to MS the fuel quantities are settable so you could try something like amount (>A:FUEL TANK CENTER QUANTITY, gallons)

Unfortunately, that won't work. You can only "set" Aircraft variables (A:vars) via SimConnect. You can not "write" to A:vars via XML.

I figured that was the only approach Jan, I was hoping one could possibly use that to add a particular amount or a negative amount which would then dump fuel if you will. But I suppose I was just XML Crazy. :(

As Bill noted, those are the varibles themselves. To set a value you have to use an event: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc526980.aspx#AircraftFuelSystemIDsUnfortunately there are none to set the fuel quantities. I did notice "KEY_FUEL_DUMP_TOGGLE" but couldn't find a corresponding A:variable to make a switch to test it...Anybody tried it?...DonMerry Christmas!
