Wrong parking positions (AFCAD) for Airbus A319 Professional


Aldarean

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I've noticed that the parking positions of the new A319 Professional are wrong at many airports. Often the aircraft is too far away from its nominal position. Apparently something is wrong here with the AFCAD data. In the German-speaking forum I have already created a topic by the wrong parking positions in a response by Hoffie3000 are also seen in the editor. Link below.

 

 

Here some pictures from Berlin-Tegel and Frankfurt 2.0

This is a limitation of the Sim. P3DV4 is using the center of the model to place the aircraft in the center of the spot. With short aircraft like the 319 you will now have the described situation. 

As described in the German topic it is a problem of the AFCAD with the placing of the small parking spots.

So the A320 will be placed correctly because it's a longer plaine? In my memories the parking positions worked correctly in P3d v3 for the A319. Didn't P3DV3 using the center of the model?

No, there is your "memory" wrong, since FS2000 where the acfads are added, this problem was/is always the same. The placements for Useraircraft and AI Traffic is, as Bob explain, Center oriented, not Nosewheel based.

The Parkingpositions in the Afcad needs to be placed in a way, that the longest possible aircraft could park there without "nose in Building". As position A18 in EDDF is also used by a A340, your A319 is "small" and so far behind the correct position.

Okay, thanks. But Gate A18 is a "small" Gate.

The "small Gate" definition is only for orientation in the Select list, for the Sim (AI) is only the radius of the Position relevant.
