I have been using some AI traffic (and AFCAD edited airport) developed for YMAY (Albury NSW Australia). I

John,Am I glad you posted this question. I'm having the same problem. Perhaps Lee Swordy or someone who has solved this problem will chime in.Jeff

It appears to me that the difference between the heading of the parking place and the heading of the taxiway leading to the parking spot cannot be too great or there will be problems. I have helped this a bit by adding an extra node right next to the parking spot to get them "turned" just before arriving at the spot, but this seems to be limited to about 80 degrees, and if I add a second node they never leave.Hope this helps,-- Tom GibsonCalifornia Classic Propliners: http://members.aol.com/tgfltsim/index.htmlAlcoHauler Locomotive Page: http://members.aol.com/alcohauler/home/alcohaul.htmlFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.com/ San Diego Model RR Museum: http://www.sdmodelrailroadm.com/Drop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___

Interesting. The a/c that just up and disappear are parked at gates where they have taxied almost straight in. There is very little angle between the heading of the link leading into the parking spot and the heading of the parking spot itself (maybe 3 degrees at most). Maybe I need to increase the angle of the parking spot just a bit relative to the lead in link. I'll give that a shot an see what happens.

Hi,All all of my edits the aircraft are 90 degrees to the taxiway and have to do a 180 to get out. Not seen a disappearer under these circ's.I presume the stands are not to close together?Would also suggest to test the flights that you have only these two in the flightplans.txt file (afterbacking up the original of course) then if they don't disappear then its another gremlin to seek out!Rgds Ron
