 **Note**: If a terminal is selected whose capacity is insufficient for the number of passengers transported, the "Settle flight" button will become inactive and cannot be clicked. In this case, another player's terminal or the FTW terminal must be selected.  **Note**: If a terminal is selected whose capacity is insufficient for the number of passengers transported, the "Settle flight" button will become inactive and cannot be clicked.

 +===== Gas station =====
 +Gas stations can be operated by the system as well as by players or companies. However, the gas stations operated by FTW are currently only active at airports where no player is currently operating his own gas station. As soon as this is the case, FTW-Oil will leave with its offer and leave the monopoly position to the player. However, several players can operate their own gas stations at the same airport. The pilot can then choose where to refuel. This choice is made in the topmost field of the gas station dialog. A selection must be made here, otherwise no refueling can take place. 
 +
 +If a player offers only Jet A or only AvGas at his gas station, the FTW gas station will step in and offer the missing type AND the already existing one until the player offers both types of fuel (and thus fulfills his social responsibility).
 +If a player wants the monopoly, he must also offer all goods.
 +
 +Additionally he can choose between Jet A and AvGas 100LL. 
 +
 +After that, there are three ways to fill the machine. 
 +  - In the first line, the tanks can be filled up to a certain level in kg. 
 +  - In the second line, you can choose how much kg you want to add to the current value. 
 +  - In the third line, the machine can also be filled up by means of input in percent. 
 +By clicking on the button to the right, the calculation is performed and the amount to be paid is displayed. With a click on "Pay and fill up" the machine is filled up in FTW.

 +
 +Now how is the pilot supposed to know how much fuel he will need for the upcoming flight? Determining that is not actually within the scope of Fly The World. An exact fuel calculation is best done by the fuel planner of the respective add-on developer or special additional tools for the flight simulator.
 +
 +And that's why ...
 +
 +==== Flight planning and refueling with SimBrief ====
 +
 +FTW offers a data transfer to [[http://simbrief.com|SimBrief]] for flight planning:

 +
 +{{:handbuch_basics:2019_09_29_21_31_11_1_.png?direct&600|}}
 +
 +The "Flight Information" button is only offered **after the flight has started**, because only at this point all information is available for transfer to SimBrief. However, in order to be able to refuel afterwards, **the refueling station in FTW is still open until the flight has been started in YAACARS ("Start Flight" has been clicked)**.
 +
 +[[http://simbrief.com|SimBrief]] can generate the respective consumption and further flight planning (route, weather, SID/STAR, NOTAMs ...) and export them in many ways.
 +
 +You have to create an account at SimBrief - but it's free and (as far as we know) also ad-free :-)
