Would someone please tell me how to easily find the refueling pumps at the airports without having to spend a half hour taxiing around looking for them in FS2004? In FS2000, they were always ringed by a flashing yellow square which made them easy to find. In FS2004, they are located in the most obscure places and are not easily seen until you run over them. I know I can set the program so I never run out of fuel, but I want to keep it just a bit more realistic and pump the gas myself. Thanks in advance. Alright, in the absence of a better answer... I'm going to assume that the pumps in '04 are somewhat visable from the air, despite the lack of the yellow box. Use slew mode to find them after landing and then return to the taxyway before exiting slew mode. For those who may not know what slew is: When you have landed and are looking for the pumps, hit y on the keyboard (or whatever you have mapped the slew key to) then use the trim up button on the joystick (I think, play around with the buttons to find the right one if not) and let the plane rise a few hundred feet. This will give you a birds eye view of the airport without actually flying. The game is not really paused in slew mode, you will see other traffic moving around. It's like a pause for your aircraft only so that you can position it where you want. Use the rudder to pivot on the vertical axis (like yaw). Stick inputs control translation in the horizontal plane. After you've located the pumps you can then use trim down (or whatever) and position the aircraft back on the taxiway and continue. |
