How to get fuel/baggage/jetwway?

Featured Replies

Ok, I can't figure this out....I CAN get the jetway to join my plane, but when I call for fuel it says Im customer # xx and then I see a little fuel truck, and it drives to me, but doesn't get close at all, prolly a couple 100 feet away, and just stops. What am I doing wrong? what about baggage trucks? I haven't had any luck with them at all? Whats the command to call them over?

Thats what I wanna know as well :)

Hi All,I think that's it. Then the traditional Payload Loader screen should open.Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/

yeah i got the fuel truck to come (it takes a long time, like it just sits there for a couple of mins, and then it finally came)What about baggage trucks though? Do I wait longer for them too?

Hi,I think for that you also need to open the cargo door.Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/

I got every truck to work properly. You have to open the cargo doors for the luggage trucks to come. I ordered a fuel truck at KLGA and it took about 20 minutes for it to finally work. In fact I had forgotten I called for the fuel truck and all of a sudden the fuel/loadout window opened up.I'm sure you also have to have airport vehicles set to maximum. I also got the push back to turn me right and left. You just need to not change your view setting or anything until you have pressed Shift-P then 1 or 2 for this to work.I have pictures of all this and will upload it if anyone wants to see.

Well, just a quick comment about the airport vehicles setting since I know I don

Just wondering if bags are actually offloaded? The baggage trucks just sit there, and when I close the cargo doors they dont move out of the way! Anyway to fix that?Vin

I have that same issue - the baggage trucks never move away, I even tried closing the cargo doors (thus would be right onto the conveyor truck)..in the end I just pushed the plane back with them all in place, and off I went!For reference, I had filed an IFR flight plan, and got clearance before pushing back --- and waited some time for them to move to no avail. Only thing I had not really done (since I do it once I'm pushed back) is to get taxi clearance from ground - maybe you have to do that first - plenty of variables here as always :)And yeah, like others - the fuel trucks sometimes take an age to arrive (probably realistic, but I usually just end up bringing the payload dialog up manually).

Well the baggage trucks do go away....Just landed at KSFO, parked up at the gate, shut down engines etc. opened doors and the baggage trucks turned up - plus I needed some additional fuel to go on to my next destination, so called the fuel truck --- it arrived, I fueled up.....AND....once I had my fuel, the fuel truck left (admittedly it did drive straight through the baggage truck! LOL) and then the baggage truck and conveyor trucks left, and my pushback truck is waiting - so I'm off to fly again!Just thought I'd let you know - they do actually drive off, at least sometimes - maybe they need a fuel truck to go straight through them first ;) Now someone will come on and say, well to be really realistic that should cause a fire and burn the plane out too - guess we'll have to wait for FSXI for that one :)

Ok, i got all my doors open, everything shutdown, heres the jetway, theres the fuel truck, what is he waiting for lol??? But the baggage carts just sit there, its been about 5 minutes in this screenie:Waiting....waiting.....ok now its been 10 minutes....http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/160591.jpg

Keep in mind, for baggage vehicles to come you also have to have the engines shutdown. (Not sure if they are or not in that pic.) And of course you need a plane with FSX style exit definitions. (Which I figure that is.)"Let me help you out. You're cleared to taxi any way you can to any runway you see."
