...convince me that I am not going mad... :-\...!

FS 2004:
I am sure that when I first installed Plan-G 2.0.5, the locations of the default, available Fuel Pump locations were indicated by a Yellow Dot on the Plan-G Airfield Chart!
Which was very useful, before and after landing...
For some reason, they no longer appear on my Plan-G Airfield Charts in the window expander. I have to use FS Navigator to locate the Fuel Pump positions.
Only the Parking and Gate positions appear on the Plan-G Chart as Blue Dots.

Has something been changed...or have I gone Yellow-blind?... :'(...!

Not really...
I presume that Plan-G is programmed to show all the Airfield Pump locations all around the World?
All of my airfields are Default, apart from a few in California.
....and my only major scenery change is Ultimate Terrain USA and Canada. The rest of the World is default, including the airport scenery.

None of the default airfields from all around the World are showing the Fuel Pump locations in Plan-G airfield charts, (as they appear in FS Navigator).
Very strange...I am sure that they used to!
Only the Parking places and Gate locations are showing, in Blue circles. The Yellow Fuel Pump locations are all missing!

(Perhaps its worth un-installing, and re-installing Plan-G again, and running the FS 2004 Database again....I'll give that a try).

..well.... ::)...

I must admit defeat at this point... :'(...

I have un-installed G-Plan completely, restarted the computer, installed Plan-G afresh, and run the FS 2004 Database, covering the whole World...
..and still no Fuel Pump locations shown on the Plan-G Airfield Chart, where I know there are default fuel pumps located, and their exact positions!
(All the Parking and Gate positions are shown).
This one has got me stumped.... ???...!

Go to a FS 2004 default airfield where you know there is a default Fuel Pump located, open the Plan-G Airfield Chart, and look for a yellow circle/dot, showing its precise location...is there one shown there?

Its not appearing on mine!

I think I have found the reason....

After re-installing my FSX, and testing it out for a comparison, it appears that the Fuel Pump locations are only shown in FSX G-Plan Airport Charts ...and NOT in FS 2004 G-Plan Airfield Charts, for some reason!... :o...!

I wonder why that is?....Its a shame, for we FS 2004 enthusiasts.... :(...!

....From the above comments, is there any chance of patching Plan-G to show the Fuel Pump locations in the Airfield Charts in the FS 2004 version?

It's too late to do anything for 3.0, but I'll put it on the list for 3.1.

Many Thanks, Tim... ;)...!

The Fuel Pump locations were/are always a God-send in FS Navigator for FS 2004 Pilots, and they would be very welcome in FS 2004 Plan-G as well!... :)...!
