November 4, 200322 yr I have the following strange problem, and I would appreciate your suggestions as to how to solve it:I am referring to some custom AFCAD I have created for LIRN ( Naples, Italy)When aircraft land on runway 24, once they slow down, instead of taxiing ahead to the next available turnout (there is one), they make a 180 degrees turn and head back for the previous turnout!Why doesn't this occur at every runway? What is so special with LIRN? Is there something I can do about it?RegardsStamatis
November 4, 200322 yr I think this usually has to do with the location of the turnouts at the moment the plane switches from landing to taxi mode (about 15-20 kts). If you move the turnouts (or change the landing roll of the plane) this usually fixes this. Some say to break the runway taxiway line right after a turnout, so it forces them to go on to the next turnout, but this doesn't always work for me. Worth a try though.Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___ Tom Gibson CalClassic Propliner Page
November 5, 200322 yr Hello Tom,"If you move the turnouts (or change the landing roll of the plane) this usually fixes this."I'd hate to move the turnouts because I don't want to have aircraft taxiing on the grass. For me, this is even worse than the problem I have now. "Some say to break the runway taxiway line right after a turnout, so it forces them to go on to the next turnout,"Ok, I will try this method.Thanks for the suggestions, appreciated.Stamatis
