Positioning AI aircraft with AFCAD

Featured Replies

At one point in time there was a utility that you could use to line up aircraft to jetways while making AFCAD files. It was a transparent plane that had the size of a 747, 737 etc stacked by different colors and all you needed to do was line it up at the jetway and you could more or less position planes properly for parking specs. I can't remember the name of this AI plane utility or where I downloaded it. Anyone have an suggestions?

I just use an a/c of the size i want to park at the spot, using the standard FS slew commands when i am editing an AFCAD with ADE.

You can also adjust the aircraft symbol in ADE to match the radius of the aircraft you are placing the parking spot for. Settings tab; Set Aircraft Wingspan. Slew your aircraft into position accordingly to line up with the jetway as desired.
