Using AFCAD does anyone know how to designate parking spots for AI Helicopters?

thanks,
Tom

Just give the parking spot a code (one that isn't in the official PAI list of parkingspecs eg HELI)

Then just add a line in the aircraft.cfg file of the helo as below

[fltsim.0]
title=AI Helicopter
sim=aiheli
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_id=N058XY
atc_parking_codes=HELI
ui_manufacturer=Helimanufacturer
ui_type=AI Heli
ui_variation=Yellow one
description=Description here

actually if you download the latest parking specs for PAI you will see they already have plenty of options for helo parking.

M004 is military helos but you can narrow it down by UH-60, SH-60.

I never checked for Civilian Helo's but I'm sure if military is in there and PAI did it then Civi's will be to
