Old fuel truck shows up using the new version of GSX

(1/4) > >>

WebMaximus:
Thought I would try out the new refueling system real quick last night after I installed the latest version of the full installer for GSX but guess I must have missed something because when I called for the fuel truck the old yellow one turned up and just parked on the left side of the aircraft just as in previous versions of GSX.

This was with the PMDG NGX.

Looking in the documentation as far as I can tell there shouldn't really be much more to it than set the initial fuel via the FMC (or just use whatever was left from last flight I guess?), then call the GSX fuel truck and once it arrives it will wait for you to set the desired amount of fuel via the FMC and it will then simulate the refueling process.

I also tried downloading and installing the latest Stand-alone Addon Manager but still same thing, no new fuel vehicles show up but only the old yellow one.

Thanks in advance for any tips what I'm missing.

For the new truck to arrive, the fuel point must be at least 3.45 meters high, and we set it as such in the stock GSX configuration for the PMDG 737 which is included in the latest release.

However, if you customized it (even before), and you set a fuel point too low, the old truck will come instead, because your own customizations will always take precedence over the internal GSX data.

So, in order to be sure you are using the correct configuration, go in the airplane configuration editor, and press the "Reset" button, to Undo all your changes and return to the default GSX configuration.

WebMaximus:
Problem solved, thanks :)

Strange because I'm pretty sure I never changed any of the default values but regardless it's working fine now after I did what you suggested and I really like the new animation - nice!

Had same issue with Jahn's C47 v3 in FSX.  Saw this post so raised fuel point to 3.57 meters...got a new Texaco truck, the new fuel menu (like it) but no animation.

Help please.

Thanks,

If the fuel truck arrived and then went away, it's because the quantity you selected in the GSX menu was lower than the quantity you already had in the fuel so, of course, the fuel truck has seen there was nothing to do, and went away.
