Pausing P3D Breaks GSX Refueling
« on: August 18, 2019, 09:20:28 pm »
Im using the PMDG 747 progressive refueling with GSX where PMDG controls the acutal refueling and GSX simulates it. The GSX refueling works great and is in perfect sync with PMDG. I watch the remaining time to fuel on PMDG's Ground Ops page and it matches it down to the last second. However once P3D is paused, this breaks the refueling and instantly ends the procedure regardless of how much time/fuel is left to load.

To reproduce:

-Wait until GSX starts the actual refueling process (synced with PMDG).

-Pause P3D for 30 seconds.

-Unpause P3D and observe the GSX fuel truck instantly stops refueling, disconnects and pulls away.


I performed multiple tests - each time with different amounts of fuel/time remaining and I observed the same results.

Thanks for pointing this out, I've done this a thew times by accident and wondered why my 747 was filling so quickly.  :D

We'll check this, I guess that, because of pausing, GSX assumed the refueling ended, because tanks didn't fill up.
