October 24, 20214 yr I have searched several forums for Orbx and have found nothing on this topic. I purchased the Ketchikan scenery and installed it. When I load a scenario to go to airport there are NO PARKING SPOTS, only the option for runways 11/29. I have two sim friends who also have the scenery and they are experiencing the same thing. I have had the scenery for quite some time so this certainly is not a new issue. All of us are using P3D V4.5 and our computers meet all specs. And yes, we have run the "Verify Files" in Central and reinstalled the scenery several times. Any help to clear this issue would be appreciated since this makes the scenery somewhat useless.

October 24, 20214 yr There are no parking spots defined in the ADE because of the method used to create the unusually radical sloped surfaces on the airfield. It's not "useless" but it is limited in that AI and ground services add-ons like GSX won't work there. When departing, I position the acft initially using the faux runway start points (shown as rwy 1 & 2 in the airport selection dialog) then slew to the place I want to start from. I use the pushback features in either the acft add-on or the base sim, and when arriving there, I park myself and accept that I won't have ground services. Operating on the very unique airport topography makes the compromise worth doing still. It might be possible to add parking spots in P3Dv5, given that it supports sloped surfaces and allows discrete elevation definitions for each parking spot. Haven't tried that yet here. BTW, the ADE does need editing anyway, as the Orbx version is missing the ILS 11 DME.

October 24, 20214 yr And to answer my own question above, in P3Dv5 it is possible to add parking spots and sloped taxiways in the ADE for Orbx Ketch, enabling GSX to work. It did take a fair amount of fiddling to get the GSX parking spot editor to work without Couatl.exe blowing up. I still have my doubts as to whether AI traffic will be able to operate on the sloped surfaces, though.
