Fuel truck positions

[JonnyT]

Hi there, I work as a ramp agent at Innsbruck. Something ive noticed is very rarely do the fuel trucks drive underneath the wing - typically they park outside the outer wingtip cone and extend the line across the ground and attach it to the refuel port using a ladder. This is certainly the case for 737 where the wing height is barely sufficient, and even on A320 they will only park directly under the wing if all other turnaround processes are completed..
Can this be improved for a future release?

Many places in the world do fueling in many different ways, including parking a truck directly under the wing, depending on truck design. I think there should be a bigger variety of customization, including fuellers, pushback and container loaders.

I agree, but if there is only going to be the current 2 possibilities, I would prefer the fueller on shorthaul to not be underneath the wing, especially on aircraft like 737 where the wing is low.

You can already customize the parking positions of the pushback truck, cargo loaders, stairs, and marshallers. What you can't do is change the paths that they use around the aircraft, so that would make it a challenge with regards to the fueler.

It's not just a parking or routing issue, it's a matter of creating a completely new vehicle and associated crew animations, which is something in the extremely long list of future updates, but we don't have an exact timeline for that.
