Majestic Dash Q8-400 Refuelling

(1/3) > >>

vc-10man:
As this aircraft is listed as being supported, is there any way when calling for the fuel truck, it does not just whizz in and out doing the refueling as currently happens, but actually takes its time as happens when called for in say PMDG's 737NGXu or 747 aircraft?  I have looked all over the GSX Settings but does not seem to refuel like a normal refueller truck would

I don't know what you are referring to. Here'a a video showing the GSX refueling working perfectly with the Majestic Dash Q8-400, using the default airplane configuration that comes with GSX, which flags the airplane has using the default Fuel page, so the procedure is just like a default airplane, as in my video:




- The video starts by confirming the airplane started the flight with 25% of fuel.

- I call the GSX Refuel, it's a Gate, so a Fuel Hydrant will come.

- When the truck arrives, it will ask how much fuel to load, I replied 60%

- The crew does all the complete procedure, the fuel counter goes up progressively, as expected

- At the end of the procedure, I opened the fuel page, to confirm the precise, exact, level of 60% has been reached.

So, it works as expected. Have you changed the airplane configuration ? Are you doing something different than what I did in the video ?

Thanks, for the reply, Umberto.

Okay, I have the same type of Refueling Truck come to my Majestic Dash Q8-400, and it does the same pirouette under the right wing, then the fuel quantity request screen shows up, I select say 80%, but whereas in your video, now the two men get out of their Refuel Truck to carry out the refueling hose connections, etc, in my case, that Refuel Truck just comes under the wing, the same fuel load menu shows up, I select, and then without any men getting out, etc, it just waltzes away, and all this despite selecting Progressive Refueling in the Settings. It does so for the PMDG, the FSL, the CS aircraft, except this particular aircraft.

So, where am I going wrong?

You are not saying the most important factor: what was your fuel level BEFORE you called the GSX refueling ? If, by the time the fuel truck arrives, your fuel level is already higher than the one you requested, it will stop for a second, and will go away, since there's nothing left to do for it.

That's precisely why, at the start of my video, I show the initial fuel quantity which was set at 25%.

The "Progressive refueling" setting is used ONLY with airplanes flagged as having a custom fuel system ( those that GSX doesn't refuel ), it won't have any effect on this airplane, which as can clearly be seen in my video, it IS refueled by GSX, so it uses the standard procedure.

vc-10man:
Thanks for all that clarifications. Will double check and follow your video tutorial on that.
