• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Determined gate position

Hi All

I have a problem I hope someone can help me with. I am trying to build an application that can determind when my plane is parked at the gate.

At the moment I have to turn off my engines in order for my program to detect that I am at the gate. However I would like to find the gate by comparing the position of my ATC assigned gate and compare it to my planes position.

So far I have no problem determining the planes position (I use fsuipc), but I don't know how to determined 1. the assigned gate and 2 the position of the gate.

Does anybody know how to solve this. I would appreciate the help :).

Regards
Bo
 
Hi Bo

I answered your email but I am pleased you asked here. I wonder if you can use Brakes on to determine the end of your flight. That is the normal way that airlines do it for block time as I recall. Does not actually check that you are on a gate but you would not normally put the parking brakes on until the plane is parked. Alternatively how about engine shut down?
