[Solved] Setting Fuel Levels

[kingfisher-blue]

Hi,
After recently installing PMDG737 800 900 I find I cannot reset my fuel levels on loading. I have tried to reset
through FS9 also through
FSP and even tried with PMDG Fuel Planner. It does initially reset to required level but after a few seconds it reverts
back to a full tank.
This did not happen when I just had the 600 700 version installed it has only started since installing the 800 900
version. Now it has
started to do it with the 600 700.
It doesn`t happen with other aircraft EG F1 Cessna Skyhawk, Pilatus PC12 or Dreamfleets Baron 58. Any advice
would be very much
appreciated,
John

Is it just getting set to 100% because its parked near a fuel station? Maybe the other planes aren't? There is a parameter you can set in the input
file for FSUIPC which will disable the automatic FS9 fuel reset when parked next to a fuel station on the ground.

Here's a link to an old thread discussing this. I'm not sure if you have to have the purchased version of FSUIPC or not.

Hi Poden,
Many thanks for that advice, it was parking to close to refuelling station. I have only just started using that gate because where I
parked originally AI traffic kept running into me before I could get loaded up and away. I do have the registered version of FSUICP so I will
have a look at turning this off. I should have realized about the refuelling station but have used it before and it didn`t appear to cause any
problems. Anyway many thanks for the advice,
John

There was a small .xml on AVSIM a while back that turned off the refuelling stations on FS9. I'm not sure what it was called but it might be
worth a look if you are going to use that particular gate consistently.

All sorted. Works fine now. Still can`t believe I forgot about being to close to fuel pumps. Have altered the ini file mentioned so will run
with it for a while but everything does appear to be OK. Thanks for help very much appreciated,
John

Always happy to be of help. That must have been a bummer for a bit. If the AI traffic didn't get you, the fuel station did.
