• 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.

FSXA Vehicle Taxiway Question

Is it normal for the AI fuel truck to leave the pathway and go to other AI's that are in preflight mode?
 
The fuel truck visits AI Planes 2 times.

1. Plane gets ready for pushback (preflight support mode)
2. Plane lands and parks in assigned parking spot (post flight support mode).

The fuel truck will use the vehicle path network but if that vehicle path does not exist or is incomplete the fuel truck will use the same taxiway network the planes use.
 
Hi Jon,

You have made an " AI " fuel truck?
In that case you would have to make a fake, 'overlay' airport with its own runway, taxi paths (green links) and parking spots for the AI fuel truck so that it does not interfere with the AI of the normal airport (e.g. taking off from the runway like other AI).
To prevent this vehicle from taking off (from its own invisible 1 ft wide runway), you will have to make sure that the engine power is reduced to zero in the aircraft.cfg.
