Hello guys,

is there any AFCAD fille for Gaya's LOWW where all parking gates are available. I use the static remove file from flightsim.to but the parking spots where static aircrafts where not available to spawn.

 

Thanks!

Not that I know of, Gaya has gone AWOL since they've been employed by Asobo. With all those traffic solutions available now it's inacceptable to have half of the gates blocked by ugly static aircraft; make it at least optional.

Hi @mobiel

We are actively working on significant update for LOWW. Following an internal design dicussion I tend to remove the static from Vienna as part of that update. Something to wait for 😉

I will be happy to have community idea for statics Yes/No. 

There are some obvious reasons for both options but, as I said, will be happy to expand that small design discussion. 

Raz, Gaya.

Hey Raz,

thanks for your quick response. 

In my opionion statics are not necessary. I often flying with Vatsim or IVAO so this is a huge Problem when ATC adivse you to a gate which is blocked by a static.

And as @Fiorentoni mentioned before due to a huge number of offline traffic solution the gates will also be needed

Please get rid of static Airplanes. Thx. 

I don‘t need static aircraft either as I use AIG or FSLTL. The best solution would probably be to have an option to turn them on/off like other airports on Orbx Central have. Excellent scenery by the way!

I'm in the camp that prefers to have statics - makes for a more believable airport. Would be good to have the option like a few other airports offer.

With great AI addons like FSLTL I don't see the need for static aircraft. At least make it an option.

I prefer some static aircraft. My CPU is not fast enough to run traffic add ons. I hope you‘re not considering removing them for good. At least give us the option to chose.

Good points from both camps. 

An idea we had is to keep some statics but not in the main or major gates (For instance to keep one of the 747F parked in the B parkings).

I agree the availability of decent AI traffic addons (FSLTL, AIG) in addition to the online flying reduce the "need" for extra immersion factors like statics. 

The on/off option is not available with the MS Marketplace by now AFAIK. We will avoid different versions between different shops.

This is how I prefer it.  Statics on more remote stands but not at the main gates.

 

my preference would be the option for statics, no statics or some statics on remote stands, so the ability to switch between those options would be preferable. But if I had to go for one only, I suppose no statics would win out. Like Donka though, some locations can look too quiet without statics. I've only recently started using FSLTL so I'm still getting to know how well it populates various airports. (For some reason last night, I saw no airliners at KBOS despite it being very busy in reality - everything was a generic bizjet instead - and I was using live timing. But that's a separate story!).

Remove the statics. Terrible and annoying. I don’t buy airports with statics. Wish I had know this before I bought loww

I like airports with static planes scattered about. Bare airports not for me. 

PC marketplace purchases would have to choose which version to  buy: static or non-static, especially Xbox users (who can't move folders around).

3rd party buyers could get the 2nd type free if they buy the first. And then use Addon Linker which can remove folders and replace them in Official just as easily and quickly as it can do so in Community. If someone wants to quickly swap between static and non static versions.

Why not have the airport without static aircraft and publish a free little package, that adds the static aircraft for those who want it, like I did with my Kai Tak (here)?
