NGXu and refueling system
« on: January 11, 2020, 09:53:23 pm »
Hello,

I just have started flying NGXu and noticed that fuel truck stops near the tip of a wing (not under the fueling point prescribed by GSX profile) and I see neither crew nor typical operations like with FSLabs. Is it something I'm doing wrong or a bug?

Thanks
Dmitriy

Wing is too close to ground and there is no space for fuel truck

What is the solution then?

One solution to have ground fueling with the NGXU is described here:

The "problem" is easy to solve. Use the following tank position in the editor (GSX Aircraft Settings): 15.09 / -6.59 / 3.65.
You hit the fuel cap exactly and the filling point is high enough. All tank vehicles are used here.

As an example, I have attached the picture.  PMDG B737-800 NGXu BW. All OK.

We already explained this several times on the forum, it's not a bug, it's just that we chose to place the refueling point in the NGXu configuration that comes with GSX in it's REAL life position, since we'll eventually have a new kind of animation for the Hydrant crew that won't use the raising platform, but will use the big cable rocker and likely a stairstep to attach to airplanes with lower wings.

But of course, the whole point of having an airplane configuration editor, is that you can chose to bend realism a bit to your liking so, if you move the refueling point to a place that will result in a least 3.40 meters from ground ( which is the lowest the platform can go without having that guy's head bumping into the wing ), it will satisfy the rule for the Fuel Hydrant minimum height, under which the smaller truck will come. This way, you can get the Hydrant now, instead of waiting for the update.
