Good day, Is there any way to disable the automatic refueling feature that refills your aircraft when you are close to a fuel pumping station on the ramp in FS9?J.C. (MYNN)PPL ASEL,AMEL

I think if you exclude the pump, then it might work. Since you can add fueling stations by adding pumps in some design tools, it's probaby coded into the object.Regards, MichaelKDFWhttp://www.calvirair.com/mcpics/mcdcvabanner.jpgCalVirAir International

Thanks for the response. Can you provide further details that would assist me with excluding the pump (unfortunately I am not familiar with editing scenery files,etc). BTW, the airports in question are MYGF, and MKJP.J.C. (MYNN)PPL ASEL,AMEL

Wouldn't it be much easier to simply not park too near the pumps? ;)

Howdy Michael,The standard Library Object refueling pump will not function (refuel) unless a Refuel_Repair "trigger" code is added when it is placed. By excluding the object, the trigger is automatically deactived.

Yes, but there are instances where you may initially be parked well away from the pump, but your taxi route to the active brings you very close to the pump (e.g. MKJP), resulting in an automatic refill. This often means that after passing the pump, you must reset your original fuel quantity (to stay within weight and balance and c.g. limits). J.C. (MYNN)PPL ASEL, AMEL

I've always felt that it should only fill your tanks when you're engine is off and the parking brake set. Even then, it should pop up a dialog box to let you choose how much to put in.

Hi,Use ExcBuilder (available here):1. Go into slew mode (Y key).2. Go into Top view (Ctrl-S)3. Press the Spacebar to align your nose to North.4. Use the arrow keys (numlock off) to move yourself to the upper left of the fuel station, just a bit aways from the station. Press the num pad 5 key to stop moving.5. Click the FSC buttons on the upper left in ExcBuilder6. Move yourself to the lower right of the fuel station.7. Click the FSC buttons on the lower right in ExcBuilder8. Select Trigger Objects in the ExcBuilder check boxes.9. Click Create XML Code button.10. Click the Generate and Save button.11. Save it with a logical name (x_mygf_fuel, for example)12. Move the resulting BGL file into an active scenery folder (FS2004/Addon Scenery/Scenery, for example).13. Restart FSHope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___
