I'd just stop off in Honolulu for refueling. You can inflight refuel buy going into the fuel menu and filling the tanks manually.

Right, you can do that, but it's unrealistic for a cargo flight to mid-air near Honolulu, and even more unrealistic to do it by the menu.

I believe this is the same reason that eastbound flights from American "gateway" cities such as Newark travel up across Greenland....


As for refueling at an airport, I read in a recent thread that if you pull up to the yellow square on the ramp with a black box inside it, you'll get refueled...I haven't done this myself though, so I'm not sure how accurate it is.

Might be a bit more realistic than refueling via the menu...
Great edit, Bob.

Very true, although not entirely realistic in this particular flight.

I've recently read another review of CoF that said the fuel stations in the new version are much more realistic...and the screenie I saw seemed to agree.
Great edit, Bob.
