Floating Fuel Truck Operator
« on: August 27, 2022, 09:30:50 pm »
Hi Umberto,

I requested fuel for my PMDG 737-800.  When the fuel truck arrived, the hose was connected to the fuel tank on the ground and when the operator climbed back on the truck and connected the hoses under the wing he levitated like a magician through the wing and floated above until the fueling was completed.  He then floated back to the truck when the fuel hoses were disconnected from the wing. I got a good chuckle out of this. 😉

Humor aside, awesome work so far for making headway on the fueling process for the PMDG aircrafts. 👍

We found this to be a *timing* issues, related to each own individual PC speed and how much Simconnect is filled by commands sent by other apps, which results in objects taking a variable amount of time because they can be sent the ground altitude reliably.

We had a similar problems with drivers, now is fixed by setting the ground altitude with some delay, we'll put the same fix in the fuel crew.
