Fuel price
« on: February 03, 2020, 01:01:51 am »
hello.
Is there any way to get the fuel prices for both departure and destination aerodrome before refueling? If not could you consider to add such a feature? It could be useful for fuel price ratio calculations for the fuel tankering consideration.

Please clarify your question.

GSX pulls the fuel price from the internet, and adds a random factor ( we haven't found a global source of actual fuel prices on airports that works in every country AND it's free to use without a subscription ) and it publishes that value on a the L:FSDT_GSX_FUEL_PRICE which every add-on can read for its own use.

What else you would like to see ?

Sounds like he wants to be able to see the fuel prices for both the departure airport (the one where he is trying to refuel) and the destination airport, so he can decide whether he wants to tanker more fuel in case the fuel at the destination is more expensive.

GSX doesn't have the concept of a departure or destination airport, or the concept of a flight plan at large.
