Fuel truck issues
« on: February 26, 2017, 12:06:35 pm »
Hello,
I've been refueling lately the A320 (FSLabs) and the 737 (PMDG), and it seems that the truck is too big for them. Does the developers intend to create a smaller truck?
Also, the rose attachment point in the 737 is wrong, it's much closer to the engine in reality.
Now, as to the A320, the truck goes "below" the airplane right in the longitudinal axis line and gets stuck in there, it won't go away so it's impossible to start pushback thereafter.

The current Fuel truck works for both the A320 and the 737. We might provide a smaller truck in the future for *smaller* planes, but for these two, it's just fine.

Which is why, you can adjust it to your liking, using the supplied airplane customization editor.

The Fuel truck position is not an information we can read from the sim, you must edit it using the supplied airplane customization editor. We included some configurations, for example for several PMDG airplanes, but if the plane you are using doesn't have the refueling point specified you must add it yourself.

That's the whole point of having an airplane customization editor to begin with.
