Tark Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm on LFPG parking with Concorde and I ask for benzin refulling. It is answered me "You must be stpped on an airport for asking a benzin truck"? My joystick is correct . How is it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Fuel trucks and Jetways don't like GA RAMP parking spots. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingnorris Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 What do you mean when you speak about :GAM RAMP ? General Aircraft Ramp. Mostly reserved for small planes and such.

lnuss Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 General Aircraft Ramp Actually, GA is short for General Aviation, which actually refers to all aviation other than government, military and airlines. This includes bizjets, trainers, experimentals (homebuilts), ag planes and everything in between. But the parking areas in question are typically for smaller aircraft. I suppose the "benzin" in the OP's post is either fuel or jetway? Larry N. As Skylab would say: Remember: Aviation is NOT an exact Science!

mrzippy Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 What do you mean when you speak about :GAM RAMP ? Like the others have said that GA Ramp parking is for General Aviation parking. In those areas you need to park next to the refueling pumps to refuel your aircraft. For Shift+F to work you need to be at a heavy, medium or small GATE.

mrzippy Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Here is an example of the General Aviation Fuelbox parking. This is at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Wash. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I suppose the "benzin" in the OP's post is either fuel or jetway? I wonder if TARK is referring to Benzine as the fuel?? Concorde used A-1 Jet fuel which was Kerosene based. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tark Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 I excuse me because my explanation isn't complete: in reality, the subject is: when I ask kerosene , and also the ramp to make go out the passengers of the plane, I've an answer that tells me I'm not on an airport. I know the existance of the stand for refulling benzine for small planes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzippy Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Concorde at LFPG Heavy Gate asking for a fuel truck. Concorde at KSAN parked at a Gate-Ramp-Heavy spot. Fuel truck on the way! I did notice the LFPG has no GATE-RAMP parking. So I suspect this is why you have the fuel truck problem. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

I know the existance of the stand for refulling benzine for small planes. OK, part of the confusion is that "benzin" isn't an English word associated with aircraft fuel. Kerosene clarifies things immensely, although jet fuel and kerosene are not identical, though they are similar. As to not being on an airport, FSX isn't a very smart program, and mrzippy's suggestion that you're not in the right kind of parking area (and that your airport may not have that kind) could well be the reason you get that message.

Yes, General Aviation is what I meant. :) CLX - SET Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i9 10850K - 32GB DDR4 3000GHz Memory - GeForce RTX 3060 Ti - 960GB SSD + 4TB HDD - Windows 11 Home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
