I'm a big flight sim geek. Over the years I've experimented with lots of hardware including projectors and multi monitor (even multiple computer) rigs. I've also built my own hardware using keyboard encoders etc but the new crop of VR (virtual reality) headsets are the most exciting addition to the hobby I've seen in years and last year I got my hands on an Oculus Rift Developer Kit 2 to experiment with gaming and flight sims.

I've been lucky enough to be involved in the alpha testing for FlyInside FSX, an Oculus Rift plug in for Microsoft Flight Simulator. It's live on Kickstarter now and the public alpha is available for download. If you've got a rift check it out and support the project if you can, otherwise just take a look at the video and see what the future holds for the hobby!

I cannot get my original 5054 Spit proto fueled...it has no fuel in the tanks and won't refuel.

What to do ?

It is from SIMAVIATION site.

I had a quick look at that add on and have the same problem. Not a great model.

Look in the aircraft.cfg file - there is no fuel section, this needs adding I should think, otherwise set your FS to unlimited fuel?
