Of course it's coming, and it won't just be a "refueling for a 737", it will cover a vast range of airplanes, with refueling points under the wing between about 1.80 mt. to 3.40 mt. from ground, and because of this it's quite a bit of work, since we'll have several new vehicles, each one with a different animation, to cover different cases:
- A Fuel Hydrant if underground refueling is available, for refueling points ranging from about 2.50 mt. to 3.40 mt from ground, with the crew using a stairstep ladder to reach the wing
- A Fuel Hydrant for refueling points ranging from about 1.80 to 2.50 mt from ground, which can be reached without a ladder.
- A Fuel Tanker when no underground refueling is available, with a different crew using a ladder.
- A Fuel Tanker which can be reached without a ladder.
All vehicles will have animations showing the crew unrolling the big cable sprocket, instead of using the raising platform.
However, before the Refuel update, we'll release the 2nd step of the recent "Deicing Update", which will add the visual editor for custom Deicing areas, which is highly requested by GSX profile creators and will make it easier for anybody to create custom deicing pads.

Would it also be possible for the fuel truck or fuel equipment to have a sort of "staging spot" near the gate that it goes to if you call it while other services would otherwise block it? It would save a lot of time if it could drive up to the gate and wait off to the side while the baggage loaders are in the way instead of waiting to even start driving over until they're gone.

That's exactly how it works now, when there are already other vehicles performing something (usually baggage loading) when the truck arrives.
WebMaximus:
I think I asked this before but any chance you could add an option to avoid having the question whether you would like to board/deboard crew and pilots on every flight?
Having a checkbox called something like 'No crew/pilot boarding/deboarding question' would be awesome!

A checkbox won't be very useful because, assuming we removed the question, what should be doing by default ? Boarding everybody, just the pilots, just the crew, nobody ?
I'm fairly sure that, regardless which option we chose to be default, there will always be somebody not liking the default so, I'm fairly sure that, instead of a checkbox, we'll have to do something like a multi-choice selectable "default answer".
