1.5.4 PREFLIGHT - TRIM TABS

The

Trim Tabs

can be bend by dragging them with your mouse in the

direction indicated by the respective arrows. Keep in mind that adjusting
those tabs is only possible on ground at the parked aircraft.

1.5.5 PREFLIGHT - FUEL STATION

The

Fuel Station

is not only the place to refuel the aircraft but also to drain

water out of the tank and to test the fuel quantity.

The Gas Pump is equipped with several indicators. Fuel costs can be altered by
clicking the numbers on the

cost/liter

indicator. Right click will increase, left click

will decrease the digit.

Choose the type of fuel you want to fill into the aircraft's tank.

Open the fuel tank cap.

Pull the fuel nozzle to the aircraft and into the tank filler neck.

Press and hold the button to refuel. It will automatically stop when the fuel
reaches the maximum capacity. Remove the fuel nozzle when done.

Press the draining vent until there is fuel (yellow) fillling the bin and no more water
(blue).

Press to dip the pipe into the tank. The pipe will be filled with fuel indicating the
approximately fuel quantity. Close the fuel tank cap.
