Just taxi really close to the pump and stop. Sometimes it will work, other times you can't get close enough and you have to do the Aircraft/Fuel menu thing.

simply park up right next to the pump, and your tanks will gradually fill; once your happy with the amount of fuel you've got, just taxi away, simple as that  :)

You must be at a complet stop. some airplaine move foward when idle and parking break on. lean the mixture or stop the engine.

there is a easier method to refuel assign a button on your joy stick you can even use this method in mid flight. I use the trigger button to refuel with.

yeah best to shut down your engines (ive made engine autoshutdown ctrl+s), make sure your right next to the fuel pump, watch your fuel gauges, when their full, just taxi away :)

I must admit i prefer the old yellow square instead of these new fuel bowsers. Much easier to use and to find as well
