• 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.

Trouble adding Parking Spots and whats T offset?

Hey All,

First of all, great Program Russell, well done! Its very easy to use, plenty of features and looks great.

Just wondering if there was anything special I need to do to add parking spots? I'm able to add vehicle spots OK, but when I add parking spots and attempt to compile I get errors. I'm adding a 'parking' taxiway directly onto a 'taxi' taxiway, is this ok? Will attach a copy of the error if I can't figure it out.

Also, what are these T offset values I see in the properties window when I add parking spots? There is four of them, just wondering what they affect? Is it where the aircraft sit within the parking spot?

Cheers guys,
Kael

I'm not sure what you mean by adding a parking taxiway directly onto a taxi taxiway. Can you include the xml file you are working from and the error you are getting?

That's exactly right, the T offset value determine where the plane sits within the parking spot. I haven't seen an airport that used more than two of them, but I suppose there could be occassions where four could be useful, which is my MS allowed for four T offsets values.

The "T" offset has nothing to do with where a AI Plane sits inside the parking spot radius.

Also many large airports is FSX uses 3 "T" settings for the GATE_HEAVY parking spots.

What FSX uses when 3 are present

teeOffset1="7.92"
teeOffset2="12.19"
teeOffset3="17.83"

See this post for further explanations on the "T's" and their proper use.
