Can't refuel A2A Cessna 172
Can't refuel A2A Cessna 172
First time here, so not sure if this is the right area. Just purchased the A2A Cessna 172 last night. Had trouble from very beginning. Could take off, but immediately the rpm's dropped, and the plane crashed. Finally figured out that I was out of gas! Now have plane sitting in front of a fuel station at the Fort Collins/Loveland airport and can't figure out how to refuel plane. Shift-F does nothing. Settings are as recommended. Help!!
Re: Can't refuel A2A Cessna 172
This add-on aircraft does not work the same way as the default aircraft. The manual covers how to use this add on.
Shift 4 opens the A2A fueling menu.
If you try to just jump in and fly this aircraft you're going to get a lot of surprises.
Don't forget to download and apply the updates in the sticky topic at the top of the forum.

Re: Can't refuel A2A Cessna 172
Hello and welcome to the forums.
The manual for your simulation is under your start menu > all programs > A2A Simulations or a variant of depending on OS.
That will have the information and buttons in there for you. The shift + 2,3,4,5 etc are all defaults so be aware that these can be remapped by the user in the P3D/FSX settings.
The latest Accu-sim updater you will also want to apply is here;

Re: Can't refuel A2A Cessna 172
Thanks Oracle427 and Lewis-A2A. I finally did get the plane refueled. Restarted FSX with the plane sitting at DIA. At this location, shift-F worked. Good to know I don't have to do that everytime. I'm still having some trouble with the autopilot, but I'll re-read the manual. I'm using SPAD to run the Saitek panels, and maybe that's causing the problem. Sorry about posting the same message in two different places.
Thanks again guys. Jim

Hello,
you wont want to use the default shift + f but use the in built payload manager we created for correct loading of the aircraft.
thanks,
Lewis

Re: Can't refuel A2A Cessna 172
Hi Lewis,
Thanks for the info. I assume that shift + F only works where there are fuel trucks, i.e. DIA, but that shift + 4 works anywhere. (Still need to sit down and read the manual. Retirement is not synonymous with "time on your hands.")

Re: Can't refuel A2A Cessna 172
Sorry. I should have said that shift + 4 works everywhere for the A2A Cessna 172 (and maybe the entire A2A stable?)
Re: Can't refuel A2A Cessna 172
Shift-F will NOT WORK with the A2A aircraft at all. The default FSX behavior is not compatible with the A2A add-on aircraft. You will need to stick with shift-4 for these.

Yes you will load the aircraft with shift + 4 and also pre-flight walk around with shift + 8
thanks,
Lewis

Re: Can't refuel A2A Cessna 172
Hello,
I'm using Air Hauler 2 with my A2A C172
I cannot for the life of me refuel this plane, i have tried the ?()^+4 tab , i have rest the aircraft , i have deleted the .cfg files ...
I have refuelled the plane to full in both AH / Shift+4 and when i auto start the plane the tanks empty straight away
I have requested refuelling from GSX also. ..
Any ideas ? Does Air Hauler speak to A2A C172 with regards to fuel ???
Thanks
John

Hello,
as mentioned in this thread you should only be using our in built payload manager for fuelling the aircraft.
thanks,
Lewis

Re: Can't refuel A2A Cessna 172
Hey Lewis
Thanks for the reply i understand the refuelling from the A2A menu itself Shift+4 - i have done this numerous times
But when i refuel this way and auto start the plane the tanks empty straight away and engine cuts out.
I also noticed the battery is highlighted and the A2A menus are a reddish tint
When turning up the gauge lights there is also a reddish glow to them ... not sure if this is all related ?
Love the aircraft but at the moment cannot fly it
Cheers
John
