CRJ700 - Fuel Truck Behavior

[Flightdoc]

When I call for fuel for the CRJ700.. does not matter which airport or whether its a gate or parking spot.. the fuel truck parks off my wing but does not actually DO anything. Obviously the truck wont fit under the wing, but they dont drag any hoses anywhere so there are no actions they perform. Bug or just not finished the animations? Overall GSX is a great product!!

This has been asked so many times, and of course it's full explained in the manual, in the Refueling chapter at Page 18, under the label "IMPORTANT":

IMPORTANT

There’s a minimum height the Fuel Truck with an extending platform can use, which is about 3.00 meters from ground for the Tanker and 3.40 for the Hydrant. If the
airplane refuel point is lower than this value, a different vehicle will be called, one without a raising platform or a crew with a cable animation.

And yes, we are working on adding these new fuel vehicles, as indicate in the Sticky thread about future updates:

New Fueling vehicles for airplanes with lower wings like the 737 or the MD80

There will be a completely new animation, with the refueling crew using the Fuel cable roller to connect to the airplane refueling point, not using a raised platform, but either a small ladder, or just by standing if the wing is low enough. Both Fuel Hydrants and Fuel Tankers will be updated with this new animation.
