Refueling Offset

[High-Octane]

Are there any offset on Refueling aircraft? I went through Offset Table and FSInterrogate, couldn't find any. I recall someone did use offset on refueling back then on this forum. Anyone?

Did you search for "fuel" rather than "refuel", or even "tank"?

There are up to 11 fuel tanks and there are two offsets for each -- one giving the capacity (fixed per aircraft) and the other the current level (as a proportion of capacity). You can write to the latter to set the fuel levels.

Note that the fuel tanks are in two groups -- one of 7 and the other of 4. This is historical, the 4 separate ones were new in FS2002 whilst the other 7 date back to FS98 or before.

Yes, I have seen several fuel offsetzs, but never thought they can be used as refueling... Oh, sound good.. I will give it a try, Never tried FS_Write in VB before...

How about Fuel Jettison? wouldn't that occur only in specific aircraft types?

I don't know, you'd need t check aircraft manuals for that. But you can alter the fuel levels up or down.
