There is a UI to refuel the plane before flight, which charges money, but the fuel does not seem to end up in the tanks. This is quite limiting when doing a what was supposed to be a 2h flight in a 172 into a 40kt+ headwind, as the pre-calculated amount you end up with does not account for wind.

ANy solution to this?
I can not figure out how to refill for a 2hr flight.
I’ve tried on the aircraft/customize screen and in the EFB. The airport has no gas service and rolling up next to a gas pump no longer brings up fuel options.
OI!
I havent tried it but there is a keybind to “refuel” or “refuel & repair”. Try setting that up and see if it helps. This was a thing in 2020 for bush flying missions where we had similar issues. GL

After setting up a keybind and making sure it was not conflicting w another. It didn’t work…BUT.
In this case I used ALT+R. It did not respond to ALT+R but it DID respond to R+ALT and topped up my fuel.
So not really sure what is going on with keybinding.
Edit: AT this spawn location I am able to request a fuel truck. It arrives but I get no POP UP to refuel. It does nothing.

You blokes are legends. Keybind fuel and repair to CTRL R and worked! Fuel to 99%

I consistently get an error message like this several minutes after I top up the fuel using the shortcut, followed by a mission abort.
I guess I will just be sticking with shorter missions that are downwind.

They blocked the Refill option. They want us to fly with fumes in our tanks.
You are a F*****g LEGEND! Thank you!

Didn’t you get a message pop up to get you back to the beginning with 1/3 the tanks full?
So I am confused. Before a flight I refuel my plane to full tank, yet when the game starts its only around 40% in the tank. Is that how it should be`?
Also I tried to do the keyboard key thing to refuel, but every time I take off I am getting the same error as @PirateAntz posted.

Only use “ADD FUEL QUANTITY” shortcut and not “REPAIR AND REFUEL”.
Also with “add fuel” don’t top off your tank, refuel just a little bit every now and then. It’s a workaround for now.

Okey thank you!
But still, is it a bug or is it supposed to be so, when I refuel my plane before I enter the sim, I only have around 40% in the tanks?
It’s a bug. We should be able to buy the fuel beforehand with the EFB, but that doesn’t work right now.

BUG FIX TEMP- refuel plane to full or chosen amount - when you load into the mission skip to taxi- will show 43% fuel- restart mission will be full - prevents any crash errors
I used the \ key works fine so far
I just did it in the hanger before starting the flight. There was a button for maintain aircraft and from there i could buy and add fuel.
It looked like the starting fuel was what was remaining in the tank from the previous flight
