    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Fuel trucks and parking spots

Hi all!

A quick question for all military airfield designers.

I know it is possible to place a fuel spot that when the plane parks over it the plane fills.

I know that you can request a fuel truck to come and fill the plane provided there is a vehicle path provided for ground services.

Is it possible to replace that fuel truck with a military one (say from an object library), or is it better to just use fuel spots?

Thanks,

Joe
 
With ADE you should be able to add the stock fuel "squares" next to scenery object fuel trucks, to simulate hot pits. There are several trucks out in USAF, Army, and NATO versions. You can also replace the stock trucks by changing out the models. I try to add static mil fuel trucks along with ground power units next MIL_CARGO spots.
 
Victory,

Did a quick and dirty fuel square with a static truck worked great. I will try the vehicle path and see which is easier/better.

Thanks
