You could open a new window with top down view in it and then zoom out until you can see the box, the taxi to it.

Will ;D

Most of the time you can see them on approach at about the same time you're deciding to land short or long depending on the airport configuration. I'm talking turboprops here so the question is:do they accommodate 747's?

Okay I used the drive thru approach and it still filled it 100% Hey,I'm not worried I've got the load set at 60% anyway. Interesting excersize anyway and no the last landing I did ENSN I did not see the square until I turned on the Taxiway.

;DWhat's to be sorry about that was fun cos I'd never actually used the thing to refuel. All my flight calc's are fuel adjusted manually.  Like I said that was fun! Easy pleased some of us!

I've got a point about those boxes as well.  Not only does it fuel you, but it repairs your AC also.  If you damage, let's say your prop, but are still able to make it to a box, it will repair the damage and you fly just like new.  for example, I botched a landing the other day in a Beech 1900D (US Air) struck my left wing and that prop stopped. I was able to limp it off the runway, saw the box and got it there quickly, I attempted again (did this on taxi to no avail) to start my left engine, and this time it worked. so they fill you up and repair damage. Just thought I'd add that in.  happy flying `Brent

And new to me too!  What the world needs is a scenery add  on that is a fuel truck that asks you how much fuel to take on.  Surprised nobody has made one yet.  I use pushback by FSAssist (I think) and they have a little guy (Andy) who comes out and pushes you back while chatting with you.  Its a gimmick, but good fun.  I want a fuel truck guy (Larry?)

Where does one get the Beech 1900 btw?

If you (you=someone who knows a bit about CS) knew what line of code the 'yellow box' was couldnt you change it to just make the fuel selection screen popup when parked in the box?
