ScottecLEMD Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hi I landed at EGPB, However, I could not get taxi instructions to any gate or parking only for takeoff. On examining the AFCAD-ADE file I noticed that all the parking radii are set to like 2m. Is it ok to use ADE to increase this to what I require for my J41/DH8D etc?

kiki Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Consider closed, covered in other topic re sloping runway. I have similar problem and did not find that other topic. Plz, help me with the issue or to find that topic ( and the solution). BTW, this scenery is really amazing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottecLEMD Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hi Kiki The problem occurs if you have enabled the sloping runway option for EGPB. When this is enabled it basically hides the underlying scenery and results in no taxiways or parking areas being visible either to addon programmes or even the FSX ATC. If you disable this option then the scenery reverts back to normal and everything becomes visible again to FSX ATC and addon programmes.

Hangar200 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Hi - I assume this is the same reason ATC tower sent me direct to ground as soon as my wheels hit the runway - it thought I was off the runway, therefore "time to hand off to ground". I also assume that using sloped runways precludes AI traffic (no runway to land on) - sort of like PAKT's situation with the runway atop a big hill - no AI parking - although with PAKT, an AI plane can land, it just disappears at the end of the runway. Anyway, the sloping runway is too cool not to use - plus the aircraft parking chart included in the EGPB manual clearly shows the places to park.

ScottecLEMD Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 I still had my AI aircraft land but as soon as it did, it simply disappeared, probably because when you land the normal aircraft you get handed off to ground ATC as soon as the wheels touch, My AI would then refresh at one of the parking gates, buried up to the landing gear wheel wells. it's a neat feature but I have switched it off.

Kim Gowney Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I think the AI is dissapearing because there are no parking spaces available (not any the AI can "see" at least) this is normal behaviour within the sim, you will see it happen at airports with insufficient parking, the AI lands, and then vanishes part way down the runway.

ScottecLEMD Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 See my previous post. There is plenty of parking available, but if you enable sloping runways FSX ATC and other addon programmes will not find it. Disable sloping runways and hey presto, plenty of parking1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 the cause of that is that fsX can not cope with sloped RWY's alas it is what it is,nothing we can do about it, therefore Lars build in the option to switch the option in the CP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
