default B737 refuling
« on: September 08, 2018, 01:13:18 pm »
Hello,

i am using Prosim737 and the Aircraft for prosim is a customized default B737 ( FSX version )

Now i am struggeling with the refuling.
1. The Truck arrives and the Menu comes up to select the fuel percentage i want...ok so far. But now the refuler is not stepping out of the car. He stay sitting in the fuel truck. Why is he not stepping out of the truck?

2. when i select number 7 ( custon refuling ), the default FSX refuling dialog comes up. That is not so fine for me.
Is it possible , after selecting number 7 in the menu, to have a textfield where i can just enter the number of fuel in Kg?

3. is it possible to configure, which fuel truck is used ?

Matthias

If you got the large truck, there's another guy that will do the refueling, not the driver. The smaller truck simply doesn't have it.

And why is that ? That's precisely what the 7th option is supposed to do. If you are not happy with the pre-set choices, you select 7, and enter whatever quantity you need.

Why duplicate a function which can be already done with the default fuel page ?

The fuel truck is correctly automatically selected by GSX, depending on the airplane capacity AND the height of the fuel point in the airplane configuration so, you cannot get the larger truck, if the airplane wing is not high enough to fit it!

It is not a duplicate.

I request one textfield to enter the amount of fuel.
I have a homecockpit , so i dont want to use a keyboard, that is the reason.
The number in the Text field i can enter via the CDU

Ok, that might be a good reason for having a single number. Assuming you'll be fine having the weight distribution not under your control.

I already replied to this.
