• 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.

Detecting aircraft in fuel pump area?

Anyone know if it's possible to detect if the user's aircraft is in the fuel pump area or not? (Apart from just monitoring the fuel load.)

Hi,

Monitor it from where? From scenery, external application, something else?

Ditto to what Arno said.

but I might add...if you are using FSX, you can edit your fsx.cfg file, adding to your {SCENERY} section the following command:

ShowTriggers=1

This command will cause all fuel box areas to light up in GREEN in your sim. In so doing, you'll be able to see the exact boundaries of the fuel box area in your sim.
 
I meant monitor it from within gauge code or a SimConnect client.

Basically I have code that detects when the user adds fuel using the menu (for reasons that are at this point under NDA wraps) but it's defeated by the auto-filling behaviour of the airfield pumps. If I could detect in my code when the aircraft is inside one of pump areas, I could work around it.

Sorry, it is not Topic, but the same works fine in FS9 too. :stirthepo
