Parking Radius not large enough to accomodate AC

Postby aussiewannabe » Sat Aug 16, 2025 3:37 pm

I’ve set up numerous FS9 Alaska airports to test my Alaskan Airlines traffic. In most cases, I can see either the 737-700 or -800 at Anchorage and final destinations.

However, there are some airports whose parking radius is not wide enough and preventing either the above AC to show.

Here are the airports:
Barrow PABR, current radius 82.20. Wing_span per aircraft.cfg – 94.75
Kotzebue PAOT, current radius 82.20. Wing_span per aircraft.cfg – 94.75
Adak PADK, current radius 82.20. Wing_span per aircraft.cfg – 94.75
Bethel PABE, airline assigned to parking spot is AKA (Korean Air) not ASA
Prudhoe Bay PASC, airline assigned to parking spot is AKA (Korean Air) not ASA

I’ve tried changing the radius and giving the parking spot an airline code (ASA), but the AFCAD (Lee Swordy) program wants to save it as an afcad2_ file.

Dillingham PADL also has an AKA spot, but the AC was placed in the larger parking spot with a radius of 101 feet.

What is the best way to fix this issue?

Update:

Barrow PABR Fixed. Changed radius to 96.00ft. Saved as afcad2_PABR.bgl
Prudhoe Bay PASC Fixed. Changed AKA to ASA. Saved as afcad2_PASC.bgl

Can't seem to fix Bethel PABE as it had the same issue as Prudhoe Bay. Since Dillingham PDAL is part of the flight plan, it'll just be to Dillingham all week.

Another plane flys to Kotzebue PAOT on Thursday and to Adak PADK Wednesday and Saturday. I'll just rewrite the flight plan to alternate between Barrow and Nome.
