Parking assignments for aircraft

Featured Replies

Suppose I download an aircraft that is a cargo aircraft, say UPS, or FedEx, either flyable or AI. A lot of my airports have designated cargo ramps. 

How would I edit the aircraft.cfg to make ATC assign to park on the cargo ramp instead of a gate?

Thanks

You could try:

atc_parking_types=RAMP

atc_parking_code=UPS

No guarantee it will find the Cargo Ramp.

Try

atc_parking_types=CARGO
atc_parking_code=UPS

. . . and then it should find it.

You can specify:
GATE
CARGO
RAMP
MIL_CARGO
MIL_COMBAT
or even multiples, which will be used in order of availability, e.g.:
atc_parking_types=CARGO,RAMP,MIL_CARGO,MIL_COMBAT

Thanks guys.

I'm not 100% happy with my UTL purchase. But it's okay. I just want to eventually replace the fictional carriers with real world liveries and Im content with the FSX default AI handling. I don't have to have real world schedules or plans.

And as I only have about two hours a week to enjoy simming I prefer to fly, not set up. So, I don't have time for AIG, WOAI, etc. For me reskinning and configuring the defaults is easiest to boast default AI and won't conflict UTL.
