Taxi line not aligned with heavy parking

Recommended Posts

I changed a medium to heavy gate parking, and found the yellow taxi line is no longer in the centre or aligned with the heavy bracket - see attached pic.I have tried changing the width of the taxi link, reattached the jetway, etc., but cannot get the line to move.What has caused this or how can it be fixed?

You asked this also over at FSDeveloper I think someone answered you there. I assume you ran the fault finder to see if that link is connected correctly to the parking spot in ADE?

When I posted this thread, I haven't got the replies yet. I have now responded, and still waiting for more suggestions to resolve this problem.Cheers.

We have carried out some tests and it appears the problem is present for all parking spots at this airport whether the stock airport or the modified one. We also established that the parking spot (center line, T and so on) is exactly where it shows in FSX - using Gate Heavy 3 for the start location of a flight places the user aircraft exactly correct on the center line and spot. What appears to be out of alignment is the underlying oil marks and other image created on the apron. The conclusion appears to be that the airport geometry is fine but the drawing engine in FSX is a bit off with the parking spot mark on the apron. So probably there is no 'solution' as such
