Can I change which type of Fuel Truck comes to a Jetway gate?
« on: August 19, 2022, 12:49:49 pm »
PMDG 737-700   

Fuel truck at Jeyway gate doesn't have animations.  (Ground crew connecting hoses to aircraft etc)

But,,,,

Fuel truck at a Parking Gate is a different type of truck and it DOES have animations. 

Can I choose THAT truck to come to a Jetway gate instead?

The fuel truck is being chosen by the wing height of the aircraft (it's stated somehwhere in the manual). The -700's wing is apparently too low for the other fuel truck (with the hose connecting animations), so the non-animated model is being called. Perhaps virtuali can add some animations for that one, too, in the future. Or is it another MSFS limitation?

Thanks. 

Yes I know about the height limits, but if I start a flight at a parking space (instead of a Jetway gate) a different truck is sent and it DOES fit under the wing (just), and it has animations.

This is the truck that comes to the Parking Place.  I'd like this one to come to the Jetway Gate as well.

disable the "Underground Refueling" in the scenery customization page.
