Unlimited Fuel, Mid-Air Refueling, and Enroute Fueling

Unlimited Fuel

The use of unlimited fuel – a PIREP indicating no fuel was consumed during a flight – is not permitted.

If the use of unlimited fuel is detected, your PIREP will be Rejected.

No hours, distance or points will be awarded – and it will not be overridden.

You can identify that unlimited fuel has been recorded by reviewing the log file and your PIREP.

Click on the Financials tab of your PIREP

Look at the following lines in your log and you will see that each fuel amount is the same as the previous. This indicates that your simulator has unlimited fuel turned on and it must be disabled.

  • Taking off: with 42375lbs
  • Climbing: with 42375 lbs
  • Touched Down: fuel remaining 42375 lbs

Mid-Air Refueling

The use of mid-air refueling – manually adding fuel to your aircraft while in flight to extend its range – is not permitted.

If the use of mid-air refueling is detected, your PIREP will be Rejected.

No hours, distance or points will be awarded – and we will not fix it.

Enroute Fueling

The use of enroute refueling – landing at an airport not noted in your Bid and refueling to extend the range of your aircraft – is not permitted.

You will be required to submit your flight and it will be treated as a diverted flight. You can read more about the diversion system by clicking here.

smartCARS 3 and FlightTrackerXP does not support the ability to conduct enroute refueling and is the reason we do not allow it. You will be forced to submit your flight by the application.
