GSX with Topcat?
« on: February 03, 2017, 11:27:25 pm »
How is GSX refuling to use with Topcat?
I have requested the Fuel Truck, he arrives, but is doing nothing and will stay at the Aircraft forever.

 topcat has  nothing  to do  with gsx  at all,  all topcat is used  for  is  for  your  takeoff  and  landing  speeds.

And refuelling. Just like GSX. It is a justified question by the OP.

err  your  wrong  on topcat  think  you need to go back and  check.
topcat=  takeoff and landing performance  calculator  got  nothing  to do with fuel loading  or  fuel planning

pfpx or  sim brief  are used  for  fuel planning or  any other  addons  but  not  topcat

have a closer look at Topcat. You can refuel the Aircraft and have also the possibility to
make a Fuel Planning. Yes , the Fuel Planning of topcat is not perfect, but you can get more
or less exact "Estimated" Fuel for your Trip.

yea  your  right  its  a estimate   since  it  doesnt  know  your  flight  plan  and  wind  factors  thats  why   you  use  pfpx or  simbrief  to get  your correct  fuel load, but  as i said  earlier  gsx  has  nothing  to do with  topcat

a longer time ao.

You are right, Topcat estimates the Fuel, but in Connection with PFPX it works.
PFPX calculates the Fuel ( and also Payload ) and then you can Export the correct Fuel from PFPX to Topcat. ::)
