In Flight Re-Fuelling

Featured Replies

My inflight refuelling skills in DCS are rubbish, but in MSFS refuelling the C172 in flight is a piece of cake.  I thought I would try and adjust the fuel using the 'weight' icon to see what happens and to my surprise the fuel gauge increased - how naff is that, takes all the panic away from a low fuel situation.

Well it's pretty easy in FSX:SE too, accessing the fuel & payload menu :biggrin:

Given the power of the new sim, I'm surprised you didn't have to do this to refuel your Cessna in flight.. :laugh:

Yup, pretty neat. Just click on the menu icon, pull the sliders to the right, and you've magically accomplished "in air refuelling" for your Cessna.

I wanted to add a dcs joke, but OP was faster.

Those cheeky buggers even added wake turbulence in DCS, as if it wasn't hard enough lining up behind a tanker.
