Problem with gates

Postby jeremyclarkson575 » Sat Dec 08, 2007 11:42 am

Hey does someone knows why when starting in some airports like for example Schipol, when the flight starts you are all messed up with other planes that are not exactly in their corresponding gate, interfiering with your plane??? and besides this, I fly with the world travel airlines 747 and every time I arrive to an airport they send me to the general aviation ramp, What can i do for being instructed to park at a gate in every airports???

Thanks Greetings

What sim are you flying? Have you added additional AI aircraft/traffic? Have you installed an AFCAD file for Schiphol?

What sim(?) determines what tools you can use to remedy the problems. Additional AI(?) might be filling up your gates. An AFCAD(?) that does not fit the visible scenery (i.e. was designed for a specific

You can try searching for it here or at www.avsim.com

Or you can use AFCAD to edit the airport your self it is not that hard to do then all you have to do is to add a line in the AI aircraft cfg's file 8-)
The AFCAD help file has the codes you need for AI parking 8-)

Jeremy,

To add to Gary's reply:

I didn't find any Afcad's for the default EHAM airport here at SimV. Goto AVsim, search the FS2004 Afcads category for file name 'eham_afcad2.zip'. It is for the default EHAM airport scenery and does a better job of aligning the AC to the gates. It also has 'atc_parking_codes=' assigned for real world ICAO airline codes. If your AI aircraft have matching codes they will park at the 'proper' gates rather than bunch up.

The 'WT' I used is just an example. You can use up to 4 characters (letters and/or numbers) for the code.
For real world airlines,
