Another fuel Truck issue...sorry

I kept to busy Airports that I know have fuel trucks, so it's not an issue of not getting it now, but now when I land and park, and it say "Your number 2-8 in line..", when it is my turn to get fuel, the truck  stops on the taxi way 3 spots away, blocking all the other planes trying to taxi. And it just watches me, but the moment I request a push back or back out of the spot, it turns around and goes to the next plane, and every thing goes back to normal mines the fact that I did not get any gas. :o

Ever happen to any of you guys?
The airports it is doing it to me is Kuwait Int, and all the ones down there. Mean while if I go to TCNM I get it fine.  

And yes I am parked on a normal spot when I pull in. :D

If it takes forever and a day, just go to the file menu and bring up the fuel loading menu.  Change the percentages to 100% or whatever level you wish, as if the fuel truck was there and it had changed to it automatically.  Et Voila, you are now fueled up and ready to go......

I have had this problem too, I just slew forward a couple of metres, while keeping an eye on the fuel truck until I see it start moving again, then I stop slewing and that's it (though unrealistic)! ;D

I hope this helps! :)

I just happened to do that, right after I posted and it seemed to come to me, very weird it would do that, you would think with me flying Air Force One, I should always be #1 in line for fuel but o-well. thanks for the help.

:D HA! I have the opposite problem. Usually the gas truck will ram my airplane  ;D  ;D  ;D ... I guess I have to find M-2 .50 cal and someone who can shoot well at long range  ;) Semper Fi, Dave
