Well, I set to progressive fuelling, and when it asks me to put the fuel in, whatever I coose - 33, 66 or 100%, it only puts 127,000 lbs.
Are you still referring to the airplane in the subject, the Q400 ? If yes, haven't you read my previous explanation ? I'll repeat again the relevant part:
But of course, if the plane doesn't *really* use a default Fuel system, then you should tell GSX. And in that case, GSX will NOT refuel the airplane anymore, but will react to the airplane refueling itself.
However, if the airplane use a totally custom fuel system, one that use non-standard variables (and I suspect the Q400 might be the case, since it uses a non-standard flight model, and it's unique in this regard), you CANNOT use GSX refueling with it, plain and simple, since there's no way GSX could possibly know about an internal fuel simulation, possibly with tanks in custom variables known only to the airplane code.
I'll try to make it even more clearer, I really don't know how to express myself any better:
- If the airplane is flagged as using the default Fuel page ( option Enabled ), GSX will assume IT CAN refuel it, so it will TRY to refuel it using the STANDARD Fuel Variables
- If the airplane is flagged not NOT use the default Fuel page ( option Disabled ), GSX will NOT refuel it, but it will monitor the STANDARD Fuel Variables, to check what the airplane is doing to REFUEL ITSELF, and adapt the GSX animations to it. Of course, assuming you are following the procedure in the manual, to wait for the message from the Fuel truck and then change the Fuel quantity on the airplane. This works for 99% of the airplane that have custom refueling simulations that use the STANDARD fuel tanks variables, but have some custom refueling process that GSX can adapt to, without doing any refueling by itself. Meaning = GSX will *READ* those variables, but it will never *WRITE* to.
- If the airplane is using a totally custom fuel simulation, and this is a very rare case, but it's very likely the Q400 is the one and only using this method,
it cannot be used with GSX refueling. Plain and simple. No way out, regardless of the option and there's just nothing we can do about it, unless the airplane came with some kind of SDK that could allow 3rd party developers to read its own custom fuel variables and, assuming such SDK existed, we would have to update GSX to support it.
