January 15, 20233 yr Ok, so I'm running P3D5.3 whenever I load into the sim, the front of the plane is always, either inside the terminal, hangar or in the grass, same with the AI birds that are parked. These are all stock airports BTW: The taxiway and runway markings are correct and lined up, but the aircraft is not parked on the "T". If I Shift+P back or Slew back to put the nose gear on the T like it should be, the plane is in the right spot and the spacing is correct. However, I've noticed that some of the other ground markings at the parking spots aren't lined up correctly. Such as on Cargo aprons, some have the white "outline" of the plane, and it's been shifted forward into a building or the grass. I have MegaSceneryEarth v3 Indiana and Kentucky, and Chicago X installed. But it's happening everywhere, KCVG, KIND, KHUF, KDTW, KPDX, even at the default spawn in of Randolph Air Force Base. I will add, if I load in on a runway, it's lined up properly... Jason Fitch Flying Tigers Group Historic Airline Group
January 15, 20233 yr This is usually because there are at least two conflicting versions of the same airport being loaded. Does MegaScenery Earth include its own AFD files (possibly to correct the alignment when using the photoscenery)?

January 15, 20233 yr If it's not two airports conflicting, e.g. default is still loaded under the addon scenery, it may be just a very bad aligned afcad. I fix almost every airport I buy and share the improved afcad on my website. If it's not there I still may have an upgraded afcad yet not published. Just give us some information, which airport, what product and some screenshots.

January 15, 20233 yr I assume that you do not have any ORBx regions or Open LC products installed, Jason? Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester
January 15, 20233 yr It is bad parking spot positioning in the AFCAD for that airport as mentioned above. There are quite a few, even payware "enhanced", airport scenery in my collection that I have had to use ADE to readjust the spots to be more accurate. Also, I sometimes use GSX to fine tune parking spot positioning for proper alignment and stop location for arrival at a particular gate. I wish airport scenery creators would take the extra bit of time to at least make sure the parking spot is properly aligned. Of course that would more than likely warrant an increase in price for the scenery.

January 15, 20233 yr Author This is happening in other airports aside from those affected by the MSE and as was pointed out, it doesn't have AFD files. It's happening ALL over the country, even in airports that have no Add-ons anywhere remotely close to them.....and as I'm typing this I suddenly realize that the first thing I installed after I installed P3D over a year ago was an Updated Airports add-on from Avsim......🤦♂️ Let me go try something real quick.... UPDATE: that appears to have been the problem.....🤦♂️ Completely forgot I had installed that. Ok so now my question is, is there somewhere in the hierarchy of scenery that that should be installed to stop the conflicts?

Unfortunately, those AFCADS have issues like parking not being connected to the taxiways, so planes won't taxi, and poorly positioned parking, like too close to buildings as you described.
