Fix this exploit (parking at refuel station)

No, you do have to come to a complete stop, but you don't have to set the parking brake.
Here's a possible fix for the situation...
You know that FSP will stop you from entering the fuel and payload screen, and it can obviously sense the state of the fuel tank.
I propose that a sub be added that scans for changes to the fuel levels in the tanks. If it detects that fuel is added when on the ground,
and fully stopped, then it just ads the amount of fuel added to the total fuel cost for the trip. .

I thought about this solution but didn't do it for various reason:

1-It will add a loop (performance) for a very rare case (believe me many code are involved only to check fuel on all possible tank)
2-The risk is very high that it enter in a "dead loop" Fs9 trying to fill the tank FsP trying to empty them.

2 made the final decision.

Can a fuel station not be removed in the AFCAD files ? Hmm, need to check this, if yes it would be an easy and fast fix.

Could it be worked into FSP then, to refuel? Only when stopped and on the ground, of course, and not on a runway. Then you wouldn't
have to use any loops or timers, and just write a sub and form to fill the tanks and add the cost to the total.
