Fuel Triggers

[falcon409]

Can anyone suggest a tutorial or forum that might be able to point me in the right direction for placing Fuel triggers within FS9?

What kind of fuel triggers are you wanting to place Ed, maybe I can help you out....

Depends on the type of scenery prog you use. In ScenGenX it's an option in the objects menu. You just pick a point, set the fuel types and apply the trigger -- IIRC - it's been a year since I used it.

The crew at FSdeveloper (remember scenerydesign.org?) have lots of info in the forums and tools.

If I remember right, ObPlacer XML can set fuel triggers. Look for it in the downloads section.

Thanks guys, I'll take a close look at those programs and see what's what.

I'm doing scenery with Instant Scenery and have a lot of airports that I want to make available for refueling (helipads, fuel stations, etc).

As far as I know, Instant Scenery can only place objects, you will need a program like SceneGenX, or the old Airport for Windows, which is what I still use. Stuck in the past, I guess.....They are easy to do with AFP tho.
