zoran 0 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hi All When I load up my plane at PANC (Anchorage x by Aerosoft) it always places it at lake hood strip I type in Panc and it loads and then shows Lake hood. that's it really :-) but annoying because I cant plan a flight . Any ideas how to fix? Zoran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
738 756 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hi Zoran. I dont own PANC (yet) but when i type the airport icao wherever it is i use the drop down box underneath to select which gate or runway i want my aircraft to be at. I do that and then load my flightplan, but after that you have to click on that tab again to confirm your starting position (dont know why, must be one of those msfs things) Dont know if ive misunderstood your problem but hope it helps.

Emi 5161 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'm experiencing a similar problem with my Male scenery and I solve it the say Chris said above. Just select your departure gate and that will solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne Chief Pilot 829 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 The flightplan will be correct as long as you select PANC (with whatever gate you fancy). Only in the "Fly now!" screen, due to the close neighbourhood of these places, one of the neighbouring airport names might appear. Let's call it just another "glitch" of FSX. Again, this does not affect your flight plan: Just look up your flight plan in FSX, load it into RadarContact or open the saved flight plan file with an editor for a confirmation of this.

zoran 0 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 my problem seems to be a bit different. When I select Panc or ted stevents I get vectored to lake hood.Even if I select a gate there Now its happeningati PAFA as well, sends me to chena marina (which very nice by the way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is, being in the air already and receiving ATC instructions for changing headings? Who vectors you? FSX ATC? Addon ATC? What does the flight plan look like, that your ATC control is based on? If it's all about the airport name showing on the "Fly now" page, you can ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheyenne Chief Pilot 829 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Your flight plan looks o.k., doesn't it? So you're good to go, Zoran: FSX displays the wrong airport name on the 'Fly now!' screen, just because those airports are so close to one another. Just test it with PANC: There are no 'heavy' gates at Lake Hood, only at PANC, right? So choose a 'heavy' gate/PANC at the start and look at your 'Fly now!' screen: It'll probably say 'Lake Hood'? Now start that flight situation. I bet you'll be at one of those 'heavy' gates which can only be found at PANC, but not at Lake Hood, right? Again: Ignore the airport name on the 'Fly now!' screen. The important thing is the airport you selected before you came back to that screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheyenne Chief Pilot 829 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Ok, now I guess it's time to show us some screenshots. Ok, ok ... since you were mentioning Male, Emanuel ...: EDIT: That's the Male seabase in the proximity of Male INTL, causing the same problem the OP is experiencing, after all ...

Good job, that worked! far more graceful than doing a 70kt taxi to the gate across 3 runways! thanks again ps it showed PANC in the fly now :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheyenne Chief Pilot 829 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Looks like these PANC gates/parkings sometimes are just too far away from the runway(s). But Emanuel has got ONE screenshot at least he was asking for ... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoran 0 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 I thought I might push my luck and mention that GSX ground services still defaults to lake hood instead of PANC so I cant use it there. Any thoughts on a fix ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
738 756 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Have you tried asking at fsdreamteam GSX forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne Chief Pilot 829 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yep, this is supposed to be a GSX fix, not a PANC fix. Not sure whether you have a chance to configure your PANC gate yourself from the GSX configuration options available from the FSX addon menu.

738 756 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Like Oliver said and also check your afcad, could be a conflict caused by the default one?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoran 0 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 yes of course I forgot about AFCADS. I will give it a shot and have a look in the FSDT forums. Thanks again guys and can close the topic for good if you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
738 756 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Ok i'll close this one off. If you have any other issues with an Aerosoft product you own, you know where we all are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
