Need a little help here. I have been spending more and more time in the Free Flight mode just looking around the island and making various appoaching and landings. When I start getting low on fuel, I go back to the Hangar and click on say 75% Fuel for the Stearman. When I return to FF the additional fuel does not show. I totally quit the game, startup again, select FF and I still don't have the 75% fuel load. Maybe the question should be What are the options or requirements for adding fuel?Another fuel related question - I flew one of the Challenges for a Stearman Landing so many time that I am totally out of fuel. Can I add fuel somehow to continue with my bonehead ways?Thanks. I am throughly enjoying Flight.Ray

From the map screen, go to Free Flight and click on the Legend. Note that the airports where you can fuel up have a slightly different symbol. When you are on the ground at those airports, just hit the "F" key and you will be able to fuel up.You can also fuel up from the Hanger. But you have to click on "Select Aircraft" for any fuel changes to stick.

From the manual:Managing FuelBefore heading out on a mission or exploring the world in Free Flight,you can refuel in the Hangar. Click the Fuel icon in the upper-rightcorner of the screen, and then drag to the right to add fuel. If you wantto lighten your fuel load, drag left.

Are you on the ground? You can't add fuel in the air. Don't forget that when you quite MSF when you are in the air and start MSF later on, you will still be in the air (MSF always remember where you are and under which conditions!). Afaik you have to be on the ground and you might even have to shut things down in order to load fuel.

Make sure after adding or removing your fuel you click on select aircraft at the bottom right and not clicking on Back on the left hand sideAh, all these posts whilst I was doing mine..LOL...Well hopefully there should be enough for you to get on with.

Bert, I got that part.... what it doesn't continue with is you must click on the Right Bottom tab to actually get the fuel you selected. I guess I was backing up rather than 'otherwise' guessing.J van E, I was in the Hangar, just click on the wrong side of the screen. duh.Both Arwen and Chukmake nailed it immediately. Thanks guys and gals. No wonder people keep saying 'Ray is a couple of french fries short of a 'Happy Meal'?Thanks all, I'm off to grease a few landings.Ray

No problem Ray. Glad you could get fueled up in the end.

hey guys,The easiest way i use: depending on what kind of flight you doing (cargo, pax, free roam..etc), on the ground before T/O, just hit "F", and add or remove fuel...Cheers

You can if you go back to the map and hanger while you are flying !Fred.

We are all learning together :Peace:
