• 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.

FSX Orphan Parking and CTDs

I've read in recent posts that orphan parking spots are a major cause of CTDs. I have several airfields that have orphan parking spots (my carelessness/convenience) and yet I've have never had any problems. These spots are only used for "static" AI a/c that only take off and land at 04:00 when I'm tucked up in bed, so I was wondering - do orphan parking spots only cause CTDs when a/c move to/from them or have I just been lucky ?

Have just used the file from the recent topic (KSJI) and compiled it into my FSXA with no problems from the orphan spots so they do not seem to be a major problem - with me anyway. They are not creating a CTD on load up on my system.

I was wondering if they only cause problems if you have an active flight plan / traffic file that directs an AI a/c to or from one of the spots. Although that hasn't been my experience either. One of the reasons I started using orphan spots was that a/c at them seemed to ignore the flight plan and just stay put. Ideal for statics !
