So it seems like, whatever airport I'm at, whatever plane I'm using, when I call a fuel truck using shift+f it comes about half way to me and stops.  It very rarely comes to my plane.  I noticed this in FSX:SE as well before I switched to P3D.  I'm using P3D v4.3 now and I have noticed it in previous versions of P3D as well.  I think boxed FSX was the only sim I remember not having this problem.  Same problem on two different PCs even.

 

Does anyone else have this issue?  Anyone know if there is a fix the user can do or is it some bug that only LM can take care of?

 

Many thanks for any input on this.

Do you by chance have addon sceneries? I have issues with the FSX/P3D ground vehicles getting confused whenever they're at a non-stock airport, up to the worst instance being the pushback tug weaving drunkenly around the taxiway and then crashing into my airplane. I narrowed it down to Orbx airports overlaying stock airports and, I suspect, confusing the vehicles as to where their pathing should be.

 

thanks for the reply.  Yes, I do use Orbx, but I noticed this problem happening even before I started using Orbx (or any other scenery addons), so I am inclined to believe it might not be the addons.

Does anyone know if it requires a vehicle roadway on the apron (the lanes with white dashed lines on either side) or can the fuel truck drive on taxiways?  It seems to come part way to me on the roadway and then stop shortly after leaving the roadway and moving to the taxiway...

I'm wondering if GSX is reading the wrong AFCAD. If you go to the GSX control panel (sorry, can't remember the right name) I think it's the airport configurator (?) at the top of the interface, it shows the location of the AFCAD that is being used. 

This goes back to FSX days.  The plane is out of position somehow.
