Do I understand this correctly:AC#14,N453DD,3%,24Hr,IFR,10:59:53,11:42:36,050,R,0100,KAVP,21:59:56,22:42:39,050,R,0101,KMDTMy default Beech Baron (ac314) will leave KMDT at 10:59 GMT and Arrive at KAVP at 11:42 GMT. Leave KAVP at 21:59 and arrive back at KMDT at 22:42. This will happen every day.If that is correct, then I need some help because after recompiling I never see that aircraft at that time at that departure location.Any help is appreciated.Joe

Yes, your interpretation is correct. The aircraft will fly at 5,000 feet, which I assume is above the local terrain between Harrisburg and Scranton.Is this a gate availability problem? The default Baron (which I assume is #14, not 314, which actually differ by only the shift key on the '3') is a small aircraft, so the standard parking should suffice. If all spots are full, though, it won't show up.

Captain,Thanks for the reply. But how can I tell if it is a gate availability problem? There only appears to be an airliner and a GA craft parked.Joe

You need Lee Swordy's other masterpiece, AFCAD (or AFCAD2 for FS2004.) It's an easy-to-use graphical program which shows you all the parking spaces and taxiways at an airport, and allows you to make changes. Each parking space has a size, or "radius," which limits the size of aircraft that can park there. This restriction gets more airline-specific in FS2004. Lee's documentation is excellent, and covers far more than we can go into here.

Thanks, I'll just have to get that. It is funny how one thing leads to another in this hobby.Joe
