Hello.

I am seeing PSXT parked aircraft appearing over my user aircraft. I have only seen this at two airports though. One example being as follows:

The airport is CYOW by SimAddons version 1.0.1. The stand showing the problem is 'E PARKING 1 -- RAMP CARGO' (MSFS naming on the free flight start menu map), although in the PSXT log file the aircraft being parked over it seems to be parking at 'GATE 25' which seems odd. The PSXT app interface is not identifying the reserved stand for the user aircraft (it shows as blank).

Log files and screen shots are available if that helps. Suggestions on how to fix would be great! Thanks.

Dit you "tick" user ground ?

Yes, "User Ground" collision avoidance is on (ticked).

Okay, then pls show your log file and screen shots.

Sure, please find links to logs and screen shots... Many thanks, R.

From your Log:

FDX156* N997FD FDX B752.(C) =2= AIGAIM_FedEx Express Boeing 757-200 - PW SF
E_PARKING 1 : FDX156* parked

The static parked is at gate E_PARKING 1 (not at GATE 25)
However, PSXT (wrongly) thinks that the user aircraft is not at a gate, that's why there is no check upon overlap.
On the other hand the collison user function did not work either. I will look into that to prevent this to happen again.

You can fix this situation by slightly removing your user aircraft towards the static parked (say at least 12 meters), then the collision avoidance will remove the other.

Many thanks. I can reproduce this at KSFO as well. I wonder if it is the shape of the parking area. In both cases it is a cargo ramp area with a very similar shape.

The KSFO example is parking on the FDX cargo ramp (position 504) at the north of 10L (Glideslope Pro 2.6.0 scenery).

In 15.6.6 You may see a message about the stand of the user aircraft, just after the airport file is loaded. Check that to see if it has found one.

Thanks. PSXT updated to 15.6.6 and fresh log (same CYOW scenario) is here. The "User aircraft at stand:" is blank.

Also, here is the KSFO example log file running 15.6.6. The "User aircraft at stand:" is blank on this as well.

Could you download 15.6.6 from my web site again and re-install it. I made a small change. Don't think it will help but the logging about the aircraft stand will be more clear.

Redownloaded and installed. New log file for the CYOW scenario is here.

Hi Nico,

I am not sure if this is the same problem, but I can also see parked traffic on top of parked traffic, as in this example at KBOS (FlyTampa 1.9.0). See gate E14 and E16 are double occupied.

What I see that is strange is that the log only shows one aircraft in each of those parking spots. Are you certain that your Parked aircraft is disabled in the Sim's settings?

Well, good question. I believe I have that set correctly. See screenshot of sim settings here. If I have that wrong, please advise.

It does seem to be reproducible (I've only seen this at KBOS FlyTampa though). I just saw the example below, at gates C16 and C17 of KBOS. To verify it was PSXT created, I then stopped PSXT and all aircraft disappeared, nothing remained.

All ideas and pointers welcome.
