FSX-MS Cargo Plane registering as passenger?

[Scott Boff 0]

Hello everyone, ive installed a FSX addon with a cargo aircraft, However when taxiing to gate it appears theyre taxiing me to passenger terminals with jetways as if I was a passenger aircraft.

 

I dont suppose anyone knows if this can be changed in the files somewhere what they regonise me as?

 

Kindest Regards,

Scott

Hi Scott,

You would need to request "taxi to parking" rather than "gate". They are the only two catgorries the default ATC understands.

Best regards,

In your aircraft.cfg file for that cargo plane look at this section:

atc_airline=
atc_id=
atc_flight_number=
atc_heavy=1
atc_parking_types=GATE, RAMP, CARGO
atc_parking_code=
 

Eliminate GATE, RAMP and add the atc_parking code= If you can find it for the cargo airline you are flying!

Using UPS, as an example"

atc_airline=UPS
atc_id=UPS
atc_flight_number=12345
atc_heavy=1
atc_parking_types= CARGO
atc_parking_code=UPS
 

Keep in mind that your airport will need cargo parking for you to get a cargo space.

I think you are mistaken, Charlie. That setting is for AI traffic and will not affect the player aircraft.
