• 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.

FSX fuel truck using short cuts

Hi,

What I'm trying to summarize in the title is that the fuel truck goes off its path when close to its target airplane and approches its side. Default behaviour so far.

My problem:
On a large apron with no obstacles around it makes sense what the truck does but in my case the plane's parking spot is on a very narrow apron and the fuel truck is going through grass when taking its "short cut"

Is there any work around to prevent this from happening?
I already tried to add in an extra taxiway node beween the vehicle track connection and the parking spot but that didn't actually help.

Thanks in advance for any hint.

Moin Dave,

The fuel truck just does its predefined job - no matter which surface is underneath. I' m afraid that this is a hard coded pattern in FSX. My guess is that the fuel truck 'reads' the size of the relevant parking spot and performs accordingly.
