GSX Fuel Timing
-
Hi...
I use GSX extensively. It is fully up to date.
With respect to using it with the RJ, I see a couple of issues.
After setting the fuel amount either via SimBrief import or manually, I press the Start "Refuelling" (only 1 L in refueling btw :)) button with Realistic timing mode. The issue is the aircraft begins loading the fuel and then triggers GSX to call the fuel truck. By the time the fuel truck arrives and gets set up appx. 30% is already in the tanks. It would be nice if the system waits for the internal signal from GSX that the truck/hydrant is in position and connected before increasing the values in the tanks.
Conversely, if you call the fuel truck manually and wait for GSX to signal to "Use your EFB..." and then press the Start "Refuelling" button, the process works fine.
My suggestion is to either create the same logic for the fueling, as you did for the passenger boarding where it is initiated only from the GSX menu (and works great), or make it call the fuel and passenger services and wait for the truck and the loading of people when initiated via the EFB.
Thanks

Thank you for the feedback. The intended logic is to request refuelling through the GSX menu, then once the refuelling truck has connected to the aircraft press the START REFUELLING button. That's the method we have been testing the RJ with and we recommend that in the following FAQ: https://support.justflight.com/en/support/solutions/articles/17000142827-gsx-boarding-logic-explained
I believe we are limited with what additional refuelling logic we can add due to limitations in GSX's SDK, so any additional logic changes would require further integration on FSDT's end.
However, we do have this logged on our internal feature requests tracker as something we would like to add additional functionality to in the future if an opportunity arises.
