Did you tip the driver??? 😂

I've found that you have to be parked "just right" and of course it won't come close to a GA aircraft because they only come to airliners.

I believe that they are just set to come to airliners, they stop where they should as if an airliner was there.
It's almost impossible for them to come too close because of the different sizes of airline traffic, a commuter jet is a bit smaller than an A-380.

I have had the fuel truck come to me when I use GA Radarman, It comes to a couple of feet then goes away.

I watch my Shift-z and watch the fuel go to 100%.

😀 It never comes close to me, yes it's quite nice to see the fuel go up like that...nice touch.

But what if you dont want 100% Wink Thats when you just pretend it that the truck came to you, and you just ALT and manage your own fuel and payload.

1: Taxi over to the fuel pumps. Get close.
2: Assign a key to the command "Add Fuel Quantity".
3: Select "Aircraft - Fuel and Payload" from the menu (press Alt).
And now in FSX call the truck.
