Has anyone prepared a list of aircraft parking offsets for fsx? I have searched and searched for one and can't find one. If anyone has offsets for small, medium, and large tube planes, I would like to have a copy.
Thanks
Thanks Jim. After a few days of waiting I started my own research. I went to airports I knew were stock and looked at the parks for GA Small, Medium, Large and for gates Small, Medium and heavy. I did some measuring and some trial and error. This is for the Offsets only, keep the stock dia. for the park. The results were as follows:
Small GA Ramp
T1-2.7
Medium GA Ramp
T1-6.14
Large GA Ramp
T1-13.0
Gate Small and Medium (Keep the stock dia.)
T1-26.0
T2-34.0
T3-40.0
T4-43.0
Gate Heavy
T1-43.0
T2-64.0
T3-78.0
T4-82.0
By the way .... One can learn a lot just from studying airports like KMEM, Memphis, Tn and the Atlanta Ga airport.
Thanks
To go along with the above are the exits for some AI Aircraft. This values should be copied and pasted into the aircraft.cfg of the aircraft AFTER the effects heading. Foir instance ..... for the MD80 you would copy the following, It only has one exit.
[exits]
number_of_exits = 1
exit.0 = 0.4, -18.0, -5.5, 4.5, 0 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
737
[exits]
number_of_exits = 2
exit.0 = 0.4, 36.6, -5.0, 3.0, 0 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.1 = 0.4, -38.5, 4.5, -3.0, 1 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.2 = 0.4, 33.5, 3.5, -4.0, 2 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)

[exits]
number_of_exits = 2
exit.0 = 0.4, -30.30, -9.0, 0.88,0 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.1 = 0.4, -146.0, 8.0, -7.5, 1 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.2 = 0.4, -42.30, 9.0, -7, 2 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
Airbus 321
[exits]
number_of_exits = 3
exit.0 = 0.4, 45.50, -6.0, 7.0, 0 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.1 = 0.4, -33.50, 5.85, 0.0, 1 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.2 = 0.4, 29.90, 6.0, 1.0, 2 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
MD 80
[exits]
number_of_exits = 1
exit.0 = 0.4, -18.0, -5.5, 4.5, 0 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
.
I hope someone can use this.
