• 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.

Distance of pushback vehicle from parking spot

I do apologize if this was covered already. I did searched for solution of my problem but couldn't find any thread covering it.

The point is I work on an airport that's pretty space limited and if I want to put the parking spots into their real world positions and use correct parking radius for them, pushback vehicles are already half hidden in the terminal building. By reducing radius of parking spots I managed to move the pushback vehicles out of the terminal to only have them standing right in the middle of the servicing road where they are overrun by other vehicles causing rather stupid looking situation. The only way to move them on their real life positions which is just by the servicing road, is to move the parking spots farther away from the terminal and servicing road - final result is unrealistic coordinates of parking spots. Is there a parameter to control the distance from parking spot to the position of a pushback vehicle?

Not as far as i know, you have already found that reducing the size of the spot moves the push back tug and baggage vehicles,
the only other option means doing away with them by changing the spot to RAMP_GA_LARGE, which probably doesn't help you,
You could look at the terminal to see if that is possible to move, i've done this several times, even easier if the terminal is made up of Generic Buildings,
can sometimes be quite frustrating trying to emulate the real world as you're finding out :)
 
Thanks for your reply - it just confirmed what I was afraid of.
Moving the terminal is no option - if I move the terminal, then I need to remove the parking garage, if I move the parking garage, then I need to move the road to the airport and if I move the road, then I can also move the parking lot on the other side of that road, and then the forest and the nearby village:p

Never ending story. So we will need to suffer with gates coordinates being slightly off from their real world counterparts.
