New user with a Baffling annoying problem

[Guest plane777drvr]

First, Good day all. Long time lurker here first time poster,lol.Here's the problem- Every time I fly the defaualt 773 the default ATC after landing always and without fail directs me to park in the general aircraft parking area, i.e were cessnas go not the gates themselves. I tried to cure this by adding the following lines to the cfg file---atc_parking_types=GATEBut this does not work and it still parks me in the general avaition areas. Can someone offer suggestions?? another thing I have noticed is there is no 777 default ai traffic at any airport either. I ehave enclosed the copy off the cfg file, maybee you all can pick it apart see wehere the problem may lie.thanks for your help!![fltsim.0]title=Boeing 777-300sim=Boeing777-300model=panel=sound=texture=kb_checklists=Boeing777-300_checkkb_reference=Boeing777-300_refatc_id=N358CTatc_parking_types=GATEatc_airline=Continentalatc_flight_number=359atc_heavy=1ui_manufacturer=Boeingui_type="777-300"ui_variation="Continental Airlines"description="On the outside, it may resemble the jetliners you've seen for years.

From what I know, it doesn't matter what parking types you specify. That parameter only applies to AI aircraft. Maybe in FS10 or FS11 they'll incorporate that for the user aircraft.

Hello plane777drvr,I'm not really certain what's wrong. Even though you say that you don't see any default 777 AI aircraft I am still curious, do you have any third party AI Traffic program installed? And I do think the parking type paramter in the aircraft.cfg file does matter to FS2004 ATC whether it's an AI aircraft or a user aircraft. I have some payware aircraft that has the parking type spcecified in the aircraft.cfg file, such as the Aeroworx B200, and Milton Shupe's freeware Beech D18 also has it specified. So if it doesn't matter in for a user aircraft then these well known developers are putting it in there for nothing I guess. I could be wrong, but the FS2004 SDK makes no mention of it applying to AI aircraft only.Anyway, the only thing that comes to mind right now is that all the Gates are full at the airport you landed at, leaving ATC to tell you to park somewhere else. But like I said, I'm not really certain what's wrong.Regards,OneTinSoldier

Time to take a step back and understand how AI are assigned to parking spots.The radius variable in the aircraft model file determines where the aircraft parks. If the airport is designed so that there are no parking spaces with a large enough radius, the AI aircraft will disappear once it comes to a full stop on the runway. That may explain why you see no other 777 traffic at the airport.If there are parking spots that accommodates the aircraft's radius, then the other variables become active, such as GATE or RAMP, airline code, etc. ATC will assign the parking to fulfill as many of the parameters and possible.As a user aircraft, you will not disappear when parking spots are not available for the size of your aircraft, but ATC will still try to assign you to the slot that most closely matches your parameters. If all spots other than the GA ramp are filled, you will be assigned to the GA ramp.The AFCAD program by Lee Swordy (available in the AVSIM library) is a great utility to show you the layout of FS airports. You can see how many parking spots are available, what type of aircraft they accommodate, and the airline codes. You can also modify the airports by adding more slots, change taxiways, etc.My suggestion, if you don't want to mess with AFCAD, is to go to the extended search function of the AVSIM library and enter Flight Simulator 2004 - AFCAD Files into the Category section. Then search for the airport name in the Name and/or Description section. If someone has modified the default FS airport you designate, it's most likely going to have the correct number of parking spaces for the types of aircraft that use that airport. If you download and install one of these modified files, you'll see much more traffic at the airport and ATC will assign you to the gate rather than the GA ramp (assuming all the 777 spots are not taken).Hope this helps. If not ask and I'm sure someone will help you out.Bruce

Hi thanks for your help. No I been down that route with afcad files. I havent modified anything. No matter where I go period even if I have default ai off, atc will assign my 777 im in to a GA spot everytime without fail no matter if I have a new afcad or default.

Hi plane777driver. If I'm reading you correctly, you say after contacting ground, ATC directs you to go to GA parking.Wehn the menu comes up to select what you request of ATC....do you select parking, or gates. If gates, it should direct you to the terminal area of gates. If you select the parking option...it will direct you to GA ramp and or parking. If you are selecting GATES as your parking choice. I'm out of ideas.Hope this may help. I think the top selection on ground menu is PArking, not GAtes.Good Luck.Best,David
