February 21, 201412 yr Looks like this has been beat to death but I am asking from a slightly different angle. Is there a list of what parking spot is where on any given airport? Once in a while it would be nice to say where GA RAMP SPOT 6 actually IS. That way if I am starting a flight from what I think is Signature in RW airports it would be nice if I knew what gates or ramp spots are where. Im not interested in what ATC does with me or my AI. I simply would like a list if there is such a thing of what number is where on any given airport. Thanks. Respectfully, Jet
February 21, 201412 yr Hi Jet, I'm not sure of a way to look at this directly in FSX without starting the flight and then going into top-down view to get your bearings. To be honest, the best way to find out with an unfamiliar airport is to find a chart online and get a rough idea where a particular parking spot is on the airfield. Even default airports are generally in a similar configuration to the real thing. Toby Rottner
February 21, 201412 yr Plan G has the option to display an airport diagram, with all the parking spots marked. Hover the mouse over a blue or green dot to see what kind of parking spot it is. The yellow spot is the fuel. If you're using Plan G, I recommend the OpenCycle maps in the options page, which shows contour lines. The nice thing is, Plan G is free. Hook Larry Hookins Oh!

February 21, 201412 yr For FSX world, I agree, Avilasoft EFB. For real world, jeppesen provide chart for parking positions. I think NACO plates do not contain that information, while all European AIPs publish that in their official charts.

February 21, 201412 yr Author Sorry if I wasn't clear guys. I have a RW EFB (Jepp FD as well as ForeFlight for the Ipad), I use along side. So I am not looking for charts thanks for those tips however! I was looking to see if there is a list of FSX parking "spots" anywhere. Maybe someone with an AFCAD editor had compiled a list. My google searchs and forum searches turned up nothing. But like I say. I am far from the guru of search. LOL. As it is, when starting a new flight from a new airport I have to select a starting point on the field and it is a guessing game as to where I might end up. Not a deal crusher at all I just thought it would be a nice little handy tool. That said. I am off to go see about this Plan G LHookins is talking about. Sounds great! Thanks so much! Avilasoft EFB gives a great parking map. Does this EFB have the FSX parking spots (the ones within FSX) on their maps by chance? Respectfully, Jet
February 21, 201412 yr Author BINGO. Plan G it is... Thanks again LHOOKINS for the tip. Here is a General Aviation Field. Covington GA, right outside Atlanta Hartsfield (91A) Here is Atlanta Heartsfield (KATL) Respectfully, Jet
