GSX+P3DV4+QW787 Refueling Issue

(1/12) > >>

saxdreamer787:
Setup:

* GSX
* Prepar3D
* QualityWings 787
I cannot refuel the 787.  The fueler shows up and connects to the fueling port but the fuel quantity never increases.  I keep getting the following message:  "Please use the refueling system of your aircraft".

I've tried everything from the QW dispatcher fuel section to the FMC Fuel entry data field.

Any ideas???

Thanks,
Sal

Have you read the GSX manual, the part that explain refueling, and how different it works, when the airplane has been flagged as NOT using the default fuel system (I guess QW has configured it that way) ?

With such airplanes, GSX will NEVER touch the fuel quantity, so you are supposed to use whatever method the airplane has to load fuel (as the message says), and you must do it exactly after you see that message, not before, as explained on the GSX manual.

I haven't see the QW787, so I don't know if it has different ways to load fuel, or if it has a progressive refueling simulation and if i does, if it has the alternative to load fuel instantly. In any case, the GSX manual has two examples using different 3rd party airplanes, with a progressive refuel simulation and with an instant fuel load.

Make sure that the fuel quantity you enter into the aircrafts tanks is an INCREASE from what you started with before you called the fuel truck. If I remember correctly, the QW787 starts with full tanks. You need to reduce that amount to less then you need. At that point, call for refueling. When GSX asks you to use the custom refueling, then enter the amount you require. (which at this point should be an INCREASE in fuel). This has worked for me anyway.

Hi I haven't found a better thread than this.

My Issue is refueling QW 787 and FSX with GSX 2

The refuelling, another fuel truck works only maybe in 50% of the cases.

The first truck (was requesting e.g. 135000 lbs in the dialog) usually fills the aicraft up to e.g. 79000 lbs.
Then it announces another truck is on it's way.
When the second truck arrives it maybe adds 500 lbs or nothing.
Then it announces refuelling completed still with 79000/ requested 135000.

So then I make a brand new fuel request for 135000 lbs.
The truck arrives and sometimes he makes the job and adds the fuel from 79000 up to 135000, and sometimes  it just announces refuelling completed
And then maybe on the third or forth Request fuel it comes to an end.

So any response to the refueling above?

Another fuel truck do not refuel, it just says refueling completed though the requested amount is higher than the existing at the refueling moment.
