KMCO Static Parked (or lack thereof)

Featured Replies

Recently moved to 2024, and got PSXT working fine with all the models, liveries, scenery, etc. One thing I noticed though is a lack of static parked aircraft at MCO. Last night I had between 2 and 6 parked at the airport (according to PSXT) at around 0400z. Today I had around 10 during the day, the airport felt pretty empty besides the guys taxiing and the rest. I am not sure if this is normal, or a lack of coverage, or if you need any file from me. I am just inquiring, thanks!

 I think that MCO being similar to a many large US airports that generally has good weather the vast majority of the time that the bizjets don't leave their transponders on during taxi as well as many airliners. Watching on FR24, its common to see traffic leave the FBO or Terminal and only pop up once on the taxiway. British Airways was the same today even, nothing until leaving the apron. 

 Leaving PSXT on during a 20 minute spotting session and there was non stop arrivals and departures but less than a handful of updates to the file simply because no one leaves their transponders on.
