			==Client doesn't recognize Landing Lights status==
			Some aircraft add-ons use a special way of setting the landing lights which can't be recognized by the Client. This is a problem caused by the developers of the add-on not using the standard SDK functions. If you experience this problem you can force the landing lights status as it is seen by the Client. The hotkey to toggle the landing lights is Ctrl-Shift-L. Having used this hotkey once in a flight the Client from then on will ignore the landing light readings from the flight simulator.

	If you are using the Tinmouse II Boeing 737-200 to fly on FSA you may have a problem refuelling. One of CBFS pilots has identified this problem and found a workaround. The chaps developing the Tinmouse II very kindly offered the facility to use the panel with the FFX/Vistaliner B737-200 and provided alternative .air and .cfg files for that aircraft. However, to identify which model was being used so that the panel sends the correct spoiler animations etc for the appropriate model, they added a dummy fuel tank to the Tinmouse aircraft.cfg		If you are using the Tinmouse II Boeing 737-200 to fly on FSA you may have a problem refuelling.

			==[http://fsairlines.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=5921 Auto Fueling in FS9]==
			Hi,

			Whilst digging around I took a look at the advanced options of FSUIPC and came across this :-

			''StopAutoFuel: Set this to ‗Yes‘ on FS2002/4 to stop automatic re-fuelling at scenery fuel boxes. With this selected you can only increase fuel via the FS menu or by using a program or gauge which does it via FSUIPC‘s offsets.''

			It only appears to work with a registered copy as the entry is already in the configuration settings with a default 'no'. When removing the registration details and restarting, the configuration settings file is somewhat smaller and the relevant entry is missing. Adding the missing entry and saving to a non-registered configuration settings file doesn't stop auto refuelling.

			So, for those of you with a registered copy and want to close one door that might otherwise give you a flight marked cheat, look for the following entry in the FSUIPC configuration settings and make sure it reads 'yes' :-

			StopAutoFuel=Yes

New page

Here is a list of known problems and their fixes. If you have one to add to this list, please mention it at the talk page.

==Tinmouse B737-200 Fueling Problem==
If you are using the Tinmouse II Boeing 737-200 to fly on FSA you may have a problem refuelling. One of CBFS pilots has identified this problem and found a workaround. The chaps developing the Tinmouse II very kindly offered the facility to use the panel with the FFX/Vistaliner B737-200 and provided alternative .air and .cfg files for that aircraft. However, to identify which model was being used so that the panel sends the correct spoiler animations etc for the appropriate model, they added a dummy fuel tank to the Tinmouse aircraft.cfg

In the aircraft.cfg for the tinmouse look for the [fuel] as below :-

[fuel]

//Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons)

fuel_type = 2
number_of_tank_selectors = 1

Center1 = 6.25, 0, -0.2, 2303.7, 0 // 15433 lbs max
LeftMain = 1.5, -9.6, -0.2, 1428.15, 0 // 9567 lbs max
RightMain = 1.5, 9.6, -0.2, 1428.15, 0
RightTip = 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0 //DO NOT REMOVE presence of this tank used to identify Terry Gaff/Flight1 model
electric_pump=0

To make the fuel tank invisible to flight sim/FSA you need to rem out the line as below indicated in red.

[fuel]

//Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons)

fuel_type = 2
number_of_tank_selectors = 1

Center1 = 6.25, 0, -0.2, 2303.7, 0 // 15433 lbs max
LeftMain = 1.5, -9.6, -0.2, 1428.15, 0 // 9567 lbs max
RightMain = 1.5, 9.6, -0.2, 1428.15, 0
//RightTip = 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0 //DO NOT REMOVE presence of this tank used to identify Terry Gaff/Flight1 model
electric_pump=0

Once you have added the two forward slashes, save the file and exit. It says not to remove the tank but remming tthe tank it does not appear to have any adverse affect on the visuals.

==AN-124 Fuel Consumption==
The available Antonov AN-124 aircraft models do not compute there fuel usage properly and are often getting flagged by the system as possible fuel cheats. With the help of TJ Baughn of the 'Front Line Dirty Dozen' we worked out a solution for this. If you are using this aircraft please open the 'Aircraft.cfg' file in the folder containing this aircraft in your flight simulator installation and find this line:

fuel_flow_scalar=1.0

It may have a slightly different number after the '=' but change the 1.0 to 1.711, if its not at that value or higher already. If you do not do this you risk having your flights marked as cheats, the reputation of your airline ruined and probably forced into bankruptcy.

==Windows 2000 and FS Airlines Compatibility==
For everyone who is using Windows 2000 and can't run the Client, the reason for this are some functions needed for SimConnect which are only installed on Windows XP / Vista systems.
For these users, there's a special build without SimConnect. You can get it here:
