Hi Dan/silver..

Under the circumstances.. adding 38 in either Lbs or Kg wouldn't have caused FlyNET to say it couldn't fuel as there was too much already onboard.. the Dove will carry 202gal/550kg/1212lbs of gas and there was only 59kg onboard :shock:

Glad you got it sorted anyway SF

What had you done?? I ask this because other new pilots may walk into the same problem (be doing the same thing) and your reply could get them out of the brown stuff

:sad: i uninstalled fsx and just run fs9 once i was ready to go on the strip it let me load fuel ,thats all i did dont know y ,but thats how i fixed it

I run both FSX and FS9 no problems there... :think:

But you can only use the FlyNET client AFTER you have started up FS9 and selected your flightplan. THEN ALT-TAB out to start the client and do the refilling.

You HAVE to be "ready to go" BEFORE you start up the client...maybe that was the solution..? :think:

that could be it m8,just tried diffrent things till it worked

Yep.. tks for that SF

Likewise.. I run FSX (albeit slowly) and FS9 on the same pc and both will live side by side. However.. Flynet and FSX requires FSUIPC4 and FlyNET and FS9 requires FSUIPC3 so maybe this was the problem. You won't be able to connect using FSX unless you have FSUIPC4 installed

The only problems I've heard of is if you take FSX off and this can knacker your FS9. Not sure how but I've seen it written :think:
