Afcad question. (Cargo planes at gates)

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

A few months ago I started a topic about adjusting afcads in order to let the correct airlines visit the correct gates. I learned a lot since then and I changed lots of afcads. My airports now look more realistic and up-to-date. Nice!

There is one thing I wanted to ask you guys. When I visit LAX in the morning the international gates at TBIT are filled with  Fedex Cargo planes. Is there some way to get these planes out of there? Is there some way to exclude these planes from these gates? Does LAX really have that much Fedex planes visiting the airport on daily base? 

Thanks.

There are lots of possible reasons.

First, check if all cargo stands are full. If not, then check that sufficient stands are identified as FDX, shown as "Parking" and not "Gate" and that your Fedex aircraft have "atc_parking_codes=FDX" in the aircraft.cfg file.

What John said. Because you say it's in the morning I'm confident the cargo stands are full and the sim needs some space for all the other cargo planes. I have experienced that in KMSP. In the morning and late evening Delta Connection jets are parking at all the United, American and Southwest gates because all Delta gates are full.

Thanks for your replies. I will check the afcad again and count the FDX cargo spots. Since AIG dumped a lot of cargo traffic this winter my airports are filled with ABX, FDX, UPS and other cargo traffic. I like them, especially with the beautiful FAIB 767 cargo versions. 

In the morning TBIT should be kind of empty, looking at all these white-purple planes is a bit odd. 

I will also try the AIFP tool. Thanks for that HU.
