newbie - identifying fuel stops

Postby macca45 » Wed Jun 07, 2006 9:56 pm

Hi all, I've been using Flight Sim for a while, but only just for playing around.
Recently I have become a bit more involved in doing adventures.

I am attempting to try a flight around the world in a twin engined Beechcraft Baron, and I am finding it difficult to identify where refueling point are at some airports.
Previously while flying around Australia, most airports that I landed at had the yellow square indicating fuel points, now a large number of airports do not have the yellow squares, and having no experience as a pilot, how do I identify where the refuel points are.

Currently I am landed at Kuala Lumpur international, after taking off from Changi in Singapore, neither of these had refueling points that I could identify.

Thanks in advance for any help.
It may be that simple that it would seem obvious after it is pointed out.

Alex.

Psst....it's not that important....just taxi to a place where you think there should be a refueling spot and then "refuel" there ;D

....But for the sake of being realistic, you will find a fuel pump at an airport. Taxi up to it, shut your engines off, and your aircraft will be fueled up ;)

Sounds like he might already know that.

If there is no fuel anywhere to be found, you can hit "alt+a+f" to bring up the fuel menu and refuel from there.  This is in no way cheating ;)

... but it's not particularly realistic taxi-ing around the airport all day looking for fuel.  On FS9, the GPS indicates whether or not fuel is available at an airport.
