It was validated that the VGDS (gate guidance system) is non-functional at the moment.  Between that and the poor night lighting this is currently a No-Go for me!!!!

I think this is a rushed product that does not do justice to such a major airport. Such a shame, LHR deserves better.

Anyone tried this with AIG injected traffic?

yes it works ok apart from the ai wont depart from runway 27L they wont contact atc and just carry onto the runway without putting there strobes on and other ai behind them will enter the wayway at the same time, they sim doesnt no they are there as landing aircraft will still land, same problem with Pyreegue's Glasgow but they fixed the problem when i brought it up so its fixable. dont know if the problem is the same on 09l and 09r, 

the ai will vacate runway 27r at the right exit,  but 27l they stay on the runway to Terminal 5C, no problem with them taxing around the arpon, all gates work with the ai, 

i have sent the problem over to the devs and they are looking into the problem so fingers crossed it gets fixed, alot of new airports are struggling with the same problem ai taxing onto the runway and just sittting until despawn, and every time i bring it up with the devs i get the same responce our testers use vatsim,

Yeah, happens with some stock and world update airports as well. Has to do with missing hold short points.

Adding hold short points at the correct distance from the runway is a basic feature of P3D and FSX airport AFD files, so it really should be the case with airports in Microsoft Flight Simulator. So, is this a third party developer problem, or an MS/Asobo problem?

default jersey the ai works perfect and stops and contacts atc but then you have uk2000 jersey and the ai just goes onto runway and sits without even contacting atc or putting his strobs on, i have not seen this problem with default airports, Origami Studios London Gatwick has the same problem when the ai tries to use 26R, 

i have contacted all the devs who airports has this problem and only  Pyreegue (glasgow) has fixed it, but i have my fingers crossed for inibuilds to fix there problems

It happens with the default CYYZ, LPPT, and KJFK. There's others I can't remember at the moment.

I would have noticed a problem like that if I had been beta testing the MSFS versions of UK2000 airports, but I do not have the simulator installed.
