AI Parking

[Bushpounder]

What are you all using to change parking at terminals, etc? I am tired of taxiing up to a terminal and seeing a Mooney, a 172 and a King Air sitting at a jetway. I'm confused because I am not sure where ORBX outs their AI info. Thanks for any help you can give me. I am using UT2 . What program to do AI parking are you using? Thanks!!

This sounds like a UT2 thing Don. I don't have those aircraft sitting at jetways, just at the GA ramps (but they are static). Unless there is a program to actually change positioning of AI aircraft, not sure what else you can do for that issue.

No, the statics are fine. These are the active GA AI. They will eventually leave, but they look stupid sitting at a jetway. I have taxied up to gates to drop off VIPs in r/l, but it was only for minutes. I need to go in and change the parking, but it has been many versions of FS since I did it, and I am not sure how ORBX does theirs or what program to use. I am searching it out right now.

Don, check the aircraft.cfg files for your AI planes. See what the atc_parking_types and atc_parking_codes are set at. For all my GA aircraft, the parking type is set to RAMP. I'm using UT2 and I never see GA at gates. Airliners and commercial traffic should have the type set to GATE. The codes would be for specific airlines so they could show up at the correct gates if an airport has them designated.

It's also possible that the parking space is not correctly identified. I know in Plan-G, using the airport diagram, you can see the parking spaces for RAMP, GATE, CARGO, FUEL, etc. I've added a lot of GA AI over time, from Cessnas to jets, but they all park on a ramp spot.

Good thinking! I will do that right now. Thanks for that idea!
