Hi Guys,I am hoping someone out there can help me a bit. I am trying to specify a parking place for my Reeve Aleutian Electra at Anchorage and have used the AFCAD program to specify parking type, Airline use etc. When I go into flightsim, my electra is not sitting at my desired spot but is sitting somewhere on the airport in another Parking desigation such as a Heavy Jet parking area.Am I missing something or are there more specific paramters( such as aircraft type )that I can use in the AFCAD program to get the desired results?All help and responses appreciatedFly safeDave in Alaska

The aircraft's radius will determine where it parks. If your aircraft's radius is larger than the parking settings within the AFCAD, that would explain why you are seeing the Electra in a Heavy Jet spot.

Ahh,Sounds like aircraft radius plays more of an important role than I gave it credit for. Guess I better review the readme file in the AFCAD program.Thanks for the help Bruce. Appreciate itfly safeDave in Alaska

You also need to add something like this to the aircraft.cfg for that aircraft.atc_airline=Alaskan Windsatc_flight_number=atc_parking_types=RAMPatc_parking_codes=AWASThis will really tell the program that this is the right plane to place in that park.Joe W.

Beside you should assign specific parking spots to specific aircrafts as mentionned above or to company aircrafts. See item 35. 'Parking Assignments for AI Aircraft' in Afcad Help file.Hope it helps,Hugo
