Lago's payware F-16 package comes with an in-flight refueling module ;)

FS 9 was not designed to be military combat, therefor they did not set up a way to refuel  ::) I have heard of the paware (mentioned above) that did figure out a way to have a mobile refueling box set on the plane. But it is payware and so far there is no freeware that can do it. So till then set up a button to automaticly refuel. Thats what i do.

I wonder if Lago sells the inflight refueling module program seperate from the F-16 or the Tornado packages?

I'll have to check it out....

The FS fuel variables are accessible via FSUIPC.  This is how my fuel dump gauge does its job.  If you specify a negative dump rate, you can make the fuel gauge simulate re-fuelling.
If anyone is interested in doing a little XML programming, drop me a note and I can send it along.
