sorry, but the answer is no. you can land, taxi over to the punps and then refuel by hitting the <ALT> key and select refuel from the drop down menu or by using a hot key. Then request taxi for take off and continue on.

pull up to the gas pump, then press shift F, you will see the fuel gauge rises 25% increment. press shift F 3-4 times, you will top it off.......

That creates a new question.

How can i find the damn pumbs?The way is to move around the airport and search for them???

Yes, just look around an airport. They are easier to spot in smaller airports 😉

sorry, i didnt make it clear. you can skip the pump at all, simply press shift F and that will top it off wherever you are, even up in 30000 feet high....
the reason i mentioned the fuel pump is to make it more realistic, its totally imaginary.......... 🙂

The need to taxi all over an airport to find the fuel pumps always bugged me. Back in FS2002 (or was it FS98?) I printed out a whole bunch of airports and marked the position of the pumps on them. I can't find a way to do that in FS2004 so I land, taxi to parking, drop down the "Aircraft" menu, click on "Fuel and Payload", click "Change Fuel" and enter the amount I want while I imagine that the fuel truck found me. 😉

Great imagination

😀 this would be great 😀 ...can it happens to the air??? 😉

Sure it can happen in the air. You can pull the "Aircraft" menu down anytime. BUT, I have a hard time imagining that my little J-3 or Culver Cadet is being refueled in midair like a fighter jet. Surprised
