CaptainTower Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Stock Airport KBUR Parking 12 (Fuel Box). Whether I park at the Fuel Box or Parking 11 or 13, next to it, I am going to get refueled. I don't want to do that because I want time to check my fuel usage, first. In fact, I get refueled before I even turn from the taxiway to approach Parking 13. I opened the Stock KBUR with the latest version of ADE and saw the problem immediately; the Fuel Trigger is way too big for the neighboring Parking 11 and 13 and too big for any planes taxing by that row of parking spots. The solution appeared simple: just reduce the size of the Fuel Trigger. I was unable to see any way of doing that. I could delete the Fuel Trigger but I could not resize it. I could move it forward to elimiate the problem with the taxiway, but that would not help Parking 11 or 13. If I delete the Fuel Trigger, that solves the problem but no one will get fuel from that pump. Am I correct in assuming that the Fuel Trigger cannot be resized?

il88pp Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 click the fuel trigger so it is selected. right click it. select edit object. adjust the radius. things are rarely impossible when it comes to fsx.:) il88pp. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainTower Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 That's the first thing I tried. When I do click on edit object, the only thing I can change is the scenery complexity, the type of fuel, and I can delete it or move it. That's it, though.

il88pp Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I tried with an airport (empty so far) that was on the desktop anyway. added a fuel trigger. then did as described. this is the result: (same reult whether opened from .ad4 file or from .bgl file.) do you not see those options??

il88pp Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 did you try deleting the fuel trigger,then adding a new one? you add them the same way as parking spaces. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainTower Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Your diagram shows settings for parking. I was hoping to resize the Fuel Trigger. I don't want to change the radius of the parking spot. No, I didn't try deleting the Fuel Trigger and replacing it with my own. I didn't think it would matter; I just figured the Fuel Trigger couldn't be resized. I will try what you said.

il88pp Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 a fuel trigger IS a parking spot! (a blue circle instead of a green one in ADE.) notice: "type" = FUEL. To add a "parking" spot, you first select the type. GATE SMALL, GATE HEAVY, ...., or, FUEL!! Then click on the "dot" to the left of that. cursor changes to a circle. and place. then resize it if you want. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then click on the "dot" to the left of that. cursor changes to a circle. and place. then resize it if you want. When I delete the FUEL TRIGGER, the Fuel Spot is only a picture of a fuel pump. There will be no fuel dispensed from that pump no matter what you do. You can create a Fuel Parking Spot but that does not include a Fuel Trigger. I don't know how you would do that. Maybe you can't. But that is why it is called a Fuel TRIGGER; when you taxi over it, your fuel tanks will be filled. Try it. Create a Fuel Parking Spot and compile the bgl and save it. Then put a plane at that spot and see what happens. No fuel.

StringBean Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Fuel triggers and fuel parking spots are 2 different things. The 3D model of the fuel pump is a third element totally unrelated to the first 2. To resize the fuel trigger, do the following (assuming you are working with ADE)... Delete the fuel trigger. Resize the fuel parking spot. Right click on the fuel parking spot and Add...>Fuel trigger. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do? Farewell, my freind (sp) Never argue with idiots.

StringBean Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Glad it worked, FTR ADE sizes the trigger based on the size of the parking spot. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do?

PhantomTweak Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Try reading the Tips and Tricks article by David "Opa" Marshall https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?do=copyright&fid=131901 I know it's for FS2004 but it might give you some ideas or hints on "How-To", no? Just a thought, although they usually get lonely and go in search or friends... Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again!
