Fuel trucks and parking spots

Hi all!

A quick question for all military airfield designers.

I know it is possible to place a fuel spot that when the plane parks over it the plane fills.

I know that you can request a fuel truck to come and fill the plane provided there is a vehicle path provided for ground services.

Is it possible to replace that fuel truck with a military one (say from an object library), or is it better to just use fuel spots?

Thanks,

Joe
 
With ADE you should be able to add the stock fuel "squares" next to scenery object fuel trucks, to simulate hot pits. There are several trucks out in USAF, Army, and NATO versions. You can also replace the stock trucks by changing out the models. I try to add static mil fuel trucks along with ground power units next MIL_CARGO spots.
 
Victory,

Did a quick and dirty fuel square with a static truck worked great. I will try the vehicle path and see which is easier/better.

Thanks
