• 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.

What Size of Gate?

Forgive me if this sounds like a stupid question, but I cannot figure out which size of gate I need for the parking spots of my airport.

I am using the latest version of ADE to work on an AFCAD. And struggling to find the real life sizes of the parking spots. So, my question to anyone with experience is:

-How do you know the correct parking spot size to match the real airport?(Heavy, Medium, Small)

-And how do you know what radius to make it?

Thanks in advance

Chris, is this for FSX or fs9 as they are different sizes for the 2 sims as your logo shows FSX

for FSX i use:

33m/35m for heavy 41m for A380
22m/24m for Medium
18m for small

this all depends on your personal preference and the type of aircraft used and what you call heavy, medium and small
others may well use something different
unfortunately many aircraft developers use a different wingspan for the same aircraft type so a A320 can vary from 15m to a 18m spot
