Is there an easy program that will do this?
Thanks for your help

Lets work with one aircraft,which airlines you want to work first? I will create a short cut.

Lets try B733 UAL.

I have about 25 PAI airline packages. it sounds like a loooong process of going into each .CFG and making changes.
Thanks for your help on this DYFLY. I really apreciate you taking the time and effort to help me out.

read the above links

for military I use these in my CFG

atc_parking_codes=M001,F16
atc_parking_types=MIL_COMBAT or MIL_CARGO

Parking types:
GATE for all  passenger aircraft, including those regional airlines that might park at a ramp
RAMP for all GA (General Aviation)  aircraft
CARGO for civilian cargo aircraft
DOCK for amphibious aircraft
MIL_CARGO for military cargo aircraft
MIL_COMBAT for military fighter and training aircraft

for the code put UAL, TWA etc

atc_parking_codes=UAL
atc_parking_types=GATE

You will need to add the 2 lines above to each CFG

Let's go to the B737 UAL file in your FS folder.
Click on my computer
Click c:
click on program file
click on microsoft games
FS folder
click aircraft folder
click on your B737 UAL folder
click on aircraft cfg file now you will see something like this:


[fltsim.0]
title=Boeing 737-400
sim=Boeing737-400
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=
kb_checklists=Boeing737-400_check

ui_type="737-400"
ui_variation="American Pacific Airways"
atc_parking_types_=Gate Medium      <..........type this
atc_parking_Codes=UAL                <.........type this




click on file at the top save as
click save
click yes
that's it
let me know when you do this

Ok DYFLY..
I did it. What about any MODEL.UAL folders? Do I have to create one? Here is my .CFG file.

[fltsim.1]
title=PAI B733 UAL
sim=pai733v5
model=UAL
panel=
sound=
texture=UAL
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_parking_codes=UAL
atc_parking_types=GATE
atc_id=
atc_id_color=0xffffffff
atc_airline=United
atc_flight_number=
ui_manufacturer=Project AI
ui_type=BOEING 737-300
ui_variation=United Airlines
atc_heavy=0
description=Project AI B733 Only for use with AI Traffic!


It looks ok to me. Am I missing anything?

look like this


atc_parking_type=Gate Medium
atc_parking_Codes=UAL

This is all you have to do

next step will be to click on AFCAD  open up airport and make a parking spot for UAL we will have to slow down for this proc. 250kts lolol

Ok DYFLY.. Thanks. Does it matter if the text is in caps? I don't think so, but you never know with .CFG files.

I allready have AFCAD airports that use the RAFCAD system. Thats what brought up this question. The planes were parking all over the place, but never where they were suposed to acording to RAFCAD.

What about the model.ual folder? Do I have to create one? Does it also matter what order I type the two "ATC" lines in?

No,  I have high and low case no problem with this so far.  I think on the order it has to be


atc_parking_type=Gate Medium
atc_parking_Codes=UAL

gate line first and codes next as for where to type it.
I've always been told to put it after your atc flight #

No you do not have to add a model folder

Do you have 2folders and 2 files? in your UAL folder

Ok DYFLY. I switched the order of the two lines and placed them at the end of the list.
