I had a great time practicing tonight and flew from KSBA to KSBP then back to KSBA. On my way back I looked at the fuel guage and saw there was very low fuel left in the helicopter so I diverted to KSMX made my emergency call and landed ASAP. After landing on the runway I cleared the runway and stopped to call ground and ran out of fuel. I know this is only a sim but what a good time it was Dealing with an emergency the engine died 20 seconds after I made that diversion and landed clear of the runway. Anyway I hope that doesn't happen in real life. What I wan't to know is how do we refuel after we land at another airport during a flight? I did check my fuel at my first destination and knew it was low but I did not know how to refuel. I am flying in X-plane 10.10 beta 8. I need a tow truck please!

AngNov, you can fly within FSEconomy, that will manage your fuel state. For example, I'm just about to do a hop from BUR to SBA in a Baron. The web site shows that Baron has 60 gallons of gas, so when I fire up the sim and log in to FSEconomy, it's going to set the fuel for me.

Alternatively, you can go to the menus in X-Plane and update the fuel state for the helicopter any time.
