How do you load the plane in the sim? What is the default start up state? Using any external programs for fueling like GSX or any VA ACARS program?

I load it normally from setup flight, straight into a fresh session with cold and dark. no other fuel controlling software i do have acars program but that's never caused issue before, i have gsx but again that's never caused issue with fuel. The only new additon is logitec flight pro yoke system. 

 

Thanks

What exactly you observe? For example you go to the fuel page load 5000 lbs of fuel and then what happens?

The only way to load the fuel is using the fuel page in the FMC.  If you are trying to load it using the P3D/FSX aircraft menu, it will not work properly.

So i think i fixed the issue, i kept loading on a refuel ramp spot because the stock airport had now where else to spawn and i only thought the refuel action happens if you tell flight sim to do it but apparently if the aircraft is on that spot it tries to refuel no matter what, obvs you can't do this with pmdg etc. but thanks for all your help

Yea from the moment you pass from a refuel spot it automatically tops the tank Glad you sorted it out 🙂

thanks, i do have anyhtor issue if you know an answer to it

But in xplane 11 i need to control nose wheel with something i only have yoke and throttle quad, not pedals, the ailerons does work but the nose wheel doesn't turn enough to make the tight enough turns i need to 

[downscc 1,327]

The keyboard numberpad keys that control rudder (Ins/Del I think) will steer the nose on the ground.  Pedals are highly recommended.

need to wait till more money comes in for pedals but will the ins and del key be bound already to do that

Another option (if you have FSUIPC) would be to use a Lua script to have the yoke's aileron axis control rudder when on the ground and below 60 knots.
