tomkellock92 16 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hi, Just recently purchased this product and have noticed the following AFCAD errors: Missing taxiways: Rapid Exit taxiway AE missing (which links upto taxiway AF) Taxiways H and G are partly missing (the ones near T3) - Holding points H2 and G4. Taxiway K missing from where it joins D upto where it joins C - Holding point K4 and K5 Runway errors: Taxiways leading onto the runway will cause AI aircraft to taxi for quite a while down the runway before they commence their roll. Perhaps you should consider changing these to the 'Runway' paths instead? Runway 23L needs extending back towards holding point T1 so that the hold short distance meets the runway - again, this would cause issues for AI traffic Missing stands: Stands 100 and 101 are missing near Terminal 1 Pier B - These are frequently used by the likes of Jet2 and Flybe for remote parking Stands 16 and 17 are missing in-between Terminal 1 and 3 Stand 41 is missing at Terminal 3 Stands 50 and 51 are missing at Terminal 3 Stand 21 is missing at Terminal 1 pier C - in the corner of Pier C and Pier B Stands 80, 231 and 241 are missing from the remote parking area between Terminal 2 and the Cargo area I've noticed that you have put the taxiway P in instead of stands 80 and 231. Although they do sometimes use this taxiway, the stands should still be there and are detailed on the charts. Incorrect stand numbers / types: 245 should be 85 (Remote Area) 251 should be 86 (Remote Area) 253 should be 81 (Remote Area) 252 should be 82 (Remote Area) Parking 93 should be 32 (Terminal 1) 14 should be 15 (Terminal 1) 3 should be 7 (Terminal 1) 61 should be 47 (Terminal 3) 86 should be 57 (Terminal 3) 85 should be 58 (Terminal 3) 23 should not be a 'RAMP_GA' and instead should be 'GATE' (Terminal 1) The 4 cargo gates are numbered wrong and are also either 'PARKING' or 'RAMP_MIL_CARO', which is also wrong. There are also way more stands than this at the cargo area. A few stands have been named 'GATE_G' - These should just be 'GATE' Other issues: Stand 41 (T3) is missing a jetway Stand 54 is missing a taxiway link, meaning AI will never leave this gate if spawned there There is no AI parking allocations set, meaning AI traffic will park all over the place and not at the right terminals. Multiple gates are the wrong size, meaning bigger AI aircraft won't be able to park. An example of this is stand 12, which is the A380 stand, yet this has been put as a 'Medium' with a radius of 23M - This should be around a 41M radius and a 'Heavy' The car park next to Terminal 2, and over stands 217, 218 and 219, has now been removed in the real world and those gates are now back in action - could you alter the scenery to reflect this? Any possibility that the tower view could be moved to the new tower?

tomkellock92 16 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 I've also just noticed that there a few stands that are missing the lead-in arrows on the floor. For example, stand 243 in the remote area near T2 doesn't have any floor markings, yet does have the yellow centre line leading into the stand. There are some other's as well, but can't recall which ones. Quite a few errors here guys. Can't say I'm too impressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtualstuff 76 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Just starting to wonder about the quality control lately here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I don't think it's Aerosoft's fault. They just manage the project and do a very good job of that The problem lies with the developer. It's them that code, design, model and tweak the scenery for hours on end! I understand that IDS are fairly new to this and that it takes time to get the hang of it, but they've released 3 airports now, all of which have had issues - Sacramento, Nassau and now Manchester. Hopefully, with a bit of guidance, they'll soon crack it and we'll all be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazypax 9 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I think the Aerosoft one looks fantastic, the texturing etc is right up there I think. I think they just need to fix all these taxiway issues then it'll be a great product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomkellock92 16 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Agreed, although there are few more issues than just the taxiways. Once they fix these issues, it will indeed be a great product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny19 16 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 They need to fix a lot more than just taxiway here. VAS problem occurs here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Er!k 572 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Another issue, approaches are not recognized. When arriving I was instructed to do a visual 23 approach, but when selecting an approach for 23R the list was empty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about to post my own issues with the scenery as well so I hope these are addressed too. This was definately rushed out and skipped the quality control department.
