GSX // realistic loading of fuel

[davidzill 8]

Tried searching, couldn't find an answer: What steps do I take to use PMDG QOTSII and GSX to simulate a realistic loading of fuel? Thanks!

None that I know of.  The only 'realistic' method I've found with the QOTSII is to use the GROUND SERVICES to fuel and turn around the aircraft.  This is not interfaced with FSDT products but you can still use GSX for pushback.

Maybe I’m remembering this wrong.. I don’t use GSX half the time, but when you select the fueling option in GSX once the fueler shows up it will ask you to enter the new fuel quantity into the sim, which you can do through the FMC menus. Then the fueler should stick around long enough to simulate loading that amount. I don’t think there is a way to simulate the fuel actually loading into the tanks though... as soon as you enter the new amount the fuel will be dispersed immediately.
