Sorry for the bad editing. It's been a really long time since I uploaded a video. I just wanted to get this out. I will make more videos and I will practice my editing skills. Just streaming has made me lazy and out of practice.

Watching this while my sitting in the california desert after emergency landing when the fuel ran out because I couldn't get the fuel truck to come at any of the airports. Thank you, and I'll be on my way. The cub can take it.

[@MotoCampAdventure]

Thanks for this man! Request refuel wasn't working for me and you've answered my question.

[@SirRandallDoesStuff]

Glad it helped :)

[@OrdinaryLatvian]

This feels like old KZbin. Straight to the point, no bullshit. Thanks for the help!

[@plantmorepotatoes]

Thank you for the straight-to-the-point video. I searched the internet forums for awhile but no one could explain it as well as you did.

[@SirRandallDoesStuff]

Thank you. I am glad it helped you out.

[@ChrisGorges]

I just ran out of fuel on the 4th leg of the California trip (over 30 minutes in) and didn't know how to refuel the plane, this was perfect, thanks! You think they would have at least had a tutorial or a pop up explaining this since everyone would run out of fuel at some point

[@Wraithss]

Bro, you're a life saver! thank you so much! Major props for not milking the video out and getting straight to the point and not asking me to sub to your channel a million times throughout the video. For that you've earned a sub from me!

[@brummiegaming8008]

Praise the YT gods ! This video jus bailed me out mid bush challenge :) TY

[@bradbaker3294]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks 👍

[@equious8413]

Exactly what I needed! Thank you!

[@uselessmonitor8046]

Thanks! very useful and informative! Such a life saver.

[@siewmengtan]

Thank you Sir, saved me some time to figure this.

[@davidbartonjr]

Thanks dude. Just one more frustrating thing about this new game/sim! You helped a lot. Thanks!

[@SteelTallon]

Sweet! I just landed at 2 different airports and couldn't figure it out. I'll try this! Thanks

[@wolfgang-wagner-wowproductions]

very helpful . on the search . this was the most helpful . tnx a lot . thumbs up

[@PistonsProps]

This was perfect. Thanks so much!!

[@DonReality]

Here I am trying soo hard to land and thinking I can refuel at airfields. Thank you bud.

[@luapynneb3069]

Big thanks mate, this worked 100% for me. Thx Paul

[@Eterniity8545]

Until I saw this video I thought this was supposed to be some crazy hard challenge, I even tried driving up the gas pumps at the small airports and tried the fuel request. The video was a great save!

[@Nnexxxx]

I'm currently sitting next to one as I google this guide heh

[@mrturismo]

At least i practiced my forced landing skills a couple times...... thanks bro.

[@stewmack4888]

Thanks, good info!

[@MeLlamanR]

Thank you!

[@joaomello2249]

You can choose an option on the controls menu that just adds fuel, a certain amount, without repairing and not necessarily toping the fuel, so I like this option a bit better.

[@btscpi1243]

Thank you for your help ! (Not very realistic, but it save a trip.)

[@BRZ513]

Best answer aver ^_^. Thanks!

[@ranex9890]

Thank you, i was already raging because i dont came through after 5 tries :D

[@Biddaman85]

Thank you good sir!

[@DrPACIFIER]

Helpful. Thank pilot.

[@AV-iu6bd]

Thanks Randall!

[@AfghanKush]

litterally sat here right now trying to figure this out! thanks for the video! If you taxi out to a parking space where the dude will signal you to stop, theres an option for Shift+F to request a truck but it just stops near you and doesnt refuel.. not sure if there are specific instructions for how to do it like that but this works also!

[@SirRandallDoesStuff]

Thanks for the info. It could be a bug as well. I will look into this.

[@marctardif9756]

Yeah tried the same Fuel Request at Manzanar. First try the truck got stuck and dissapeared after 2min. Also tried stop at Air station, and Fuel citern on all 4 corners. Nothing. After restart there was no truck, no citern but a 2nd dude. Anyways, You advice helped @SirRandalGaming :)

[@SirRandallDoesStuff]

@@marctardif9756 Glad it helped. I even learned a few things. I hope they patch that soon so I can refuel properly.

[@MotoCampAdventure]

@@marctardif9756 WTF. I'm literally sitting at Manzanar in game right now too searching the same thing hahaha.

[@Nnexxxx]

Another way to do it, is map "request fuel" and "Add fuel quantity" "Request fuel" will make a fuel truck drive over, and then you can use "add fuel quantity" to fill up the tank ( it will fill quite fast, so be careful if you only want 50% full) ( This at least works on landing strips with a fuel pump when parked in parking spots, i have not testet on other air strips or other places) Hawthorne Industrial was my first fuel stop (Bush trip: Nevada - leg 7 Hawthorne Industrial) - Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftFlightSim/comments/ic4dnq/how_to_refuel_during_bush_trips/g27b3s4/

[@SteelTallon]

Ah! I summoned the fuel truck and he drive over and did nothing. Lol I'll try the add quantity next time also. Thanks for the info

[@SirRandallDoesStuff]

Thanks for the info. Some people are having issues With a refueling station

[@SirRandallDoesStuff]

I tested this out. It works the same as the repair and refuel. It just fills up at any airport just like the trick I posted in my video. You can still do realism and just drive over to the parking area. But yeah this works just the same as the method I used. Both methods mine and in the Reddit post for add fuel quantity can even refuel in mid-air. I have been using this only at places I can call a truck to try to make it more real.

[@Nnexxxx]

@@SirRandallDoesStuff Awww dang, thanks for checking! I'm bummed it works midair too :(

[@johncrayford3095]

Thanks for the help, ill need it!! Im 57 an Its my first console and game,, i now know why some of the younger players are on these game's for 10hrs at a time, theres probably 8hrs of settings before they start, i think ill stay on the small plane's as i saw the start up of the big plane's wow that's to much

[@SirRandallDoesStuff]

Glad it helped

[@TheSame04]

Thank you dude. You are live safer

[@muskiet8687]

This is clearly an issue for MSFS. I even landed at an airport in between dirt strips to find the fueling area and it won't refuel my plane. It would be nice if we can refuel in a more realistic way than with a magic button.

[@luclefeber7426]

So now i can fly without crashing thanks..

[@JoeSmoe1]

bruh lol ty so much

[@SirRandallDoesStuff]

Glad it helped :)

[@gofastER]

“Ignored if flight realism is enforced”

[@oyeenihal4322]

Can you do this while in aur?

[@HashtagFelix]

Me watching this oversea from jfk to Frankfurt in a eurofighter bcs why tf not. My fuel so low I'm flying with like 20% throttle lol

[@AV8R_1]

Dude, you can refuel your airplane at any given moment by using the drop menu at the top of the screen. Just open the weight and balance section and go to fuel and slide the fuel slider to wherever you want it.

[@thatscienceguy9458]

I love how people think their way is the best way. In fact I like the key input method better. You can put this on your yoke or gamepad if you want. But I find hitting a key stroke is 1,000X faster then reaching up with the mouse moving over and clicking 3-4 Times. I feel this takes your attention away from the game just so you can refuel. Sorry your way may work for you but it's not the best way. Sometimes there are more ways to do one thing and the one of the solutions may not work for some.

[@AV8R_1]

ThatScienceGuy ok. You do you bro, was just trying to help. No need to get salty, talking about how you love how people think their way is the best way, then go on to condescendingly explain why your way is the best way. 😆 If you’re going to just top up the fuel with a single button or key stroke, every time it runs out, why not just turn on “unlimited fuel”? Oh wait... I know... that wouldn’t be “the best way”. 🙄

[@GeneHarm]

Thanks for this input, I was scrolling down hoping someone would offer this solution, because I knew about it but couldn't remember the details. Also I don't always want to fill to 100%.

[@davidneraas750]

I try to do the same being stuck at the bloody hawthorne Nevada airport but i dont get an select input Option. I just get "clear current input , cancel , or validate.

[@SirRandallDoesStuff]

It sounds like it’s already been assigned to another input. You can try clearing it out and redoing it see if that helps.

[@jjbatlle]

Can you save your bush flights? I cant seem to save anything unless it is a flight selected from the free roam map

[@SirRandallDoesStuff]

You can’t save them but when you complete one leg You can continue where you left off when you go back into that bush Fight

[@AlievRouslan]

fly leg by leg. Every time you land at the Destination Airport once the plane is stopped it will save automatically. You can exit the game then and fly the next leg some other time

[@fredflintstone5356]

I had the fuel truck come to me but it just sat there not filling my plane. The problem with this is that you can refuel yourself in mid air like it’s cheating.

[@SirRandallDoesStuff]

I agree I wish there was a way the in game refueling works correctly

[@douubledog4008]

Doesn't work mid-flight...which is where I am

[@dakota376]

Thank you !

[@ThoseOneProductions]

Thank you !
