Is this a significant step up from Maccosims rendition?

Well it's significantly more up to date and Max (Maccosim) has been silent since January. There's been promises of an update from him but as I said he's not asnwered Discord since Jan.

For those of you that care about Ai aircraft parking at the correct gates be aware that this is the current situation.

Airlines at Manchester Airport use different terminals, with Ryanair departing from Terminal 3. Terminal 1 includes airlines like Aer Lingus, Air Transat, Brussels Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, and Swiss. Lufthansa, TAP Portugal, and Turkish Airlines are also in Terminal 1, while Emirates and Etihad Airways are in the process of moving from Terminal 1 to the newly expanded Terminal 2, joining others like Aegean Airlines and Eurowings.

I flew into their MMUN yesterday and thought “wow, it would be great if someone like INI built a new version, this one is pretty rough looking”.

I use PSXT + AIG + LiveTraffic, on the more popular airports AI parking always seems spot on.  I do make sure I have AIG carriers in place for the airports I use.

I thought Ryanair has their own special runway with arrestor cables, catch nets and permanent fire trucks lining the “their” runway … didn’t see that in the trailer video?

@SayAgain, use the Emirates A380 as a test. It used to park at 12. See where it goes now.

Love the Ryanair comment. 🤣

If you have the schedule for the A380 I can test (if I’m available at the schedule time), it should match up with Live Traffic since it is 15 min delay from real world.

Ini builds is offering 2 different editions of EGCC one from Tai and another from Macco. I own them both and they are working great in 2024. Not sure why I would invest in another copy of the same airport. I wish Ini would try something different that's not already been done. LIRF, LFPG KDFW, KIND.

Are those other versions up to date? T2 has new piers, gates and taxiways.

Not sure about the Tai version but the Macco version is outdated and hasn't been updated for a long time.

If either of those other versions were good enough for me, one of them would already be installed on my PC. It has been some time since I visited EGCC Manchester in a flight simulator (the UK2000 version in P3Dv4), and I want my return to be worth the wait :wink:

Assume UK time … my only shot would be 6:45am arrival about 10:45pm PST for during the week.  Weekend can do the 20:40 departure (12:40pm PST).  So next question, when is ini MAN going to be released?

Britain is on GMT (UT) until March. Yes, those are local times.
