FSUIPC, FS9 and automatic refuelling

[RAF_Quantum]

Hi Guys,

Whilst digging around I took a look at the advanced options of FSUIPC and came across this :-

StopAutoFuel: Set this to ‗Yes‘ on FS2002/4 to stop automatic re-fuelling at scenery fuel boxes. With this selected you can only increase fuel via the FS menu or by using a program or gauge which does it via FSUIPC‘s offsets.

It only appears to work with a registered copy as the entry is already in the configuration settings with a default 'no'. When removing the registration details and restarting, the configuration settings file is somewhat smaller and the relevant entry is missing. Adding the missing entry and saving to a non-registered configuration settings file doesn't stop auto refuelling.

So, for those of you with a registered copy and want to close one door that might otherwise give you a flight marked cheat, look for the following entry in the FSUIPC configuration settings and make sure it reads 'yes' :-

StopAutoFuel=Yes

I've not checked to see if it works in FSX but I suspect not.

This will not stop other 'refuelling glitches' but should hopefully close one door. I'll still be steering clear of them pesky fuel pumps though ;-)

Regards

Many thanks for that John. I for one had no idea that option was available

I have a registered copy of FSUIPC for FSX too so I'll have a look to see if the option exists there ;-)

EDIT..
Unfortunately, the same option does not seem to be available in FSUIPC4 :-(

Thanks John,


I will give it a try when I next fire up FS9, although that could be quite a while the way work is going... :-(
