Old fuel truck shows up using the new version of GSX
triflyman:
Whoa...I never said the fuel truck went away...please re-read my post.
Thanks,

Everything looks great in the update. Problem is, I only fly Leonardo MADDOG 2008. The default fuel point value is 2.29 for this aircraft. The MD80 as we all know sits low. So the fuel truck height exceeds the height of the wing which is not visually appealing (when using fuel point of 3.45). This aircraft is in the list of supported airplanes for GSX so it would be nice to have a lower fuel truck to accommodate it's low fuel point. Also the fuel truck has no night lighting. All other GSX vehicles have it.
I would just like to say GSX does a great job of updating it's product and occasionally giving us new features and animations. Thank You.

You said you had no animation, which is what happens when the truck goes away so, this would be the most common case. Instead, you were saying you had no animation, but the truck appeared to stay for the whole procedure and did the refuel normally ?
Were you looking from far away ? The sim has an automatic optimization that turn off all animations after a certain distance.

It has been already confirmed that a different truck model for planes with lower refuel points will eventually come, however we cannot commit to a release date right now.

I see the night textures just fine, see the attached screenshot. Do you see something different ?

After I changed the height of the fuel filler station, per this thread, and called for refueling, a white Texaco truck showed up. I expected to see a figure appear and be doing something related to fueling...nothing appeared. The new menu did pop up and I chose 75% (at the time the aircraft was empty of fuel). During the refueling the truck stayed there but there was no animation. I kept getting the green banner across the top of the screen telling me the status of the refueling and how much time was left before completion. Then when it filled the requested amount, and showed complete, the truck drove away. The truck did stay for the whole procedure and did the refuel normally.
As far as how distance I was in viewing the refueling...the aircraft wing span filled about 70% of my wide-screen monitor (FSX showed I had a zoom of 1.50) so I would say I was close. But, just to be sure I tried again this morning, and got in real close (FSX showed I had a zoom of 4.00)...same result...the Texaco fuel truck showed up, filled the aircraft (but no animation) and then indicated fueling was complete and drove away. Again the truck did stay for the whole procedure and did the refuel normally.
Thanks,
