Undergroud refuelling point

[kano]

It may not be an specific GSX question but surely is a good place to start.
Does any body know how you set up a a ground refuelling point?
I mean, how does GSX know where on the groud is the refuelling point in order to attach the pipes right where in the scenery you can see the texture depicting the refuelling point?. IS it with the AFCAD? if so, where on the AFCAD?

Otherwise, is it something to be asked in FSDevelopers or where?

Thank you

I think if you are running FSX it's not available, unfortunately. I think it is only for P3D

There's no such thing as a refueling point in the AFCAD, the format doesn't provide this information so, if you see them made in 3rd party sceneries, they have been placed as normal ground textures, but nothing in the sim knows about them.

However, even if there was a way to tell GSX where the underground fuel point is in real life, we wouldn't use it, and the reason why has been explained here:

That's why GSX comes with its own fuel Manhole ( which is also required, because it's animated too ), so that it can place it in relationship to the Hydrant vehicle, in a way that will always work.

Got it, I notice that the texture comes up as soon as you trigger GSX. I did not noticed that it wasn't there already. I now understand that if the scenery add teh texture, then there will peobably two points, but GSX will use its own.

Thanks for answering
