Standard FSX 737 aircraft.

I've just downloaded the latest update.

I like the new way the fuel truck refuels. The problem or should I say difference I'm having is, I can get the fuel truck to increase the amount of required fuel but I cannot get it to reduce it.

For example: When starting a new flight the standard FSX aircraft have full tanks. I request the fuel truck, it arrives and then goes straight off. Unlike the previous fuel truck version where it would arrive and I could manually increase/decrease fuel levels.

I appreciate that in a real life scenario fuel trucks usually add fuel not remove it, but it would be useful to reduce the fuel level without having to go into settings each time.

Thanks for any advice.

That's precisely the reason why we haven't allowed the truck to "suck away" fuel from your plane, which I'm sure you already guessed...

The most obvious solution so you won't have to manually empty the fuel each time when you start a new flight, is to create a new startup flight with empty tanks, and make it default.
