Has anyone been able to get GSX to refuel the 146?
-
I usually don't bother to use GSX for boarding/loading/fueling unless it's fully integrated like the Fenix and Maddog. Since the 146 now boards passengers + cargo via GSX, I want to use it to refuel also, but thus far I've not been able to get it to do it. The fuel truck arrives, connects, and sits there and does nothing. If I enter the desired fuel totals in the EFB the truck then instantly disconnects and drives away.

@piedmonitor GSX refuelling is not currently integrated with the 146 as it's not something that is available for us to add in the GSX SDK. Further integration like what is seen with the Fenix A320 would require the involvement of the GSX development team.

@Mark Obviously I don't know what kind of roadblocks you've run into development so I may be way off base here, but I do know I've seen Umberto (GSX dev) state that Leonardo did their GSX integration with the Maddog fully on their own utilizing the GSX documentation, and it fuels automatically via GSX, and then also Fragtality created the Fenix2GSX addon that did the same before Fenix implemented their own native integration. I don't know first hand but my sense from seeing Fragtality speak is that his work was either with no or little input from Umberto/GSX. I feel optimistic based on all that that the framework may already be in place for a full integration!
I also know that GSX also natively has the capability to fuel aircraft as is -- the challenge in the past with most add-on aircraft seemed to be the passenger and bags.
But I dunno, I'm just some guy, I can only report what I've seen browsing the various forums and discords.

@Mark at first glance, you already do your own refueling, so all that really needs to happen is for you to look for the fuel truck to arrive, no? basically as soon as L:FSDT_GSX_REFUELING_STATE is set to 5, start the refuel.
And maybe make sure the L:FSDT_GSX_SETTINGS_PROGRESS_REFUEL/L:FSDT_GSX_SET_PROGRESS_REFUEL is correct -
It's been a while since we last looked into it, but I seem to recall there being some sort of barrier that prevents us from having fully automated GSX refuelling without FSDT support. However, we've made a note to take another look ahead of the next update to the 146.
