• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Airport Refueling Truck Tip

Apparently airport fuel trucks are only allowed to travel a certain distance. I am working on this one airport where the passenger terminal is at the one end of the runway and the general aviation area is on the other.

I positioned my fuel trucks close the passenger apron, because that is where they are supposed to be in real life. I also designed vehicle roads to link the two areas to one another. No problem refuelling the jets on the passenger apron, but when I requested refuel from the general aviation area, the fuel truck would only drove half way to the general aviation area and then stop. I tried everything to resolve the situation. Even designing "invisible" roads linking the parking bays... Nothing would work.

Eventually and out of pure desperation, I decided to place another fuel parking bay smack in the middle of the general aviation area and it SOLVED the problem!

I therefore hope that this tip will be of help to someone out there!

Actually you could add a truck for every parking spot if you would like.

More trucks, it will be easier for a flight will be dispatched, but...be aware that vehicle traffic in the airport can slow your aircraft traffic (vehicles seem to have priority over taxiing aircraft) and even make it dissappear once the airplane time-out has elapsed.

I have been able to place some vehicle roads, but they need to be connected to taxiway nodes, because taxiways seems to be the only way for a truck to get to an airplane in order to dispatch it.
