This is sort of going with my other topics i posted here http://z11.invisionfree.com/nzff/index. ... topic=1363

Anyway the planes have started piling up on eachother again. There was also a duplicate AF2 for wellington which when I removed, made the planes stop doing this, but when they landed would sink into the runway and dissapear.

This is not just a problem with Wellington though, I have seen it many times at Christchurch, sydney and sometimes perth.

Can someone please help with this, it drives me nuts :angry:

, and I have already searched to see if there are any other AFCADS for these other airports, so it is something that is very strange.

Any help with this is going to be great :bow:

What NZWN are you using? Default, Ian's or Robins?

Robins Real NZ, but as I said it is pretty widespread, and I have got no idea why :blink:

Howdy,

51.
If you are creating parking spots for AI use and they are assigned to specific airlines, then you may also want to create overflow parking spots wherever there is some empty pavement around the airport.Ã‚Â This will prevent airlines from spilling over to parking spots belonging to other airlines when there is not enough of their own parking. Do not assign parking codes to these overflow spots.Ã‚Â An aircraft will use a parking spot with no parking code before it uses a parking spot with the wrong code, so overflow aircraft will park at these overflow spots away from the terminal rather than at the wrong terminal gates ...

FAQ
AI bunch up in one area when parking at the terminal or ramp
Parking spots are assigned to aircraft in the order they appear in the Parking List window. Use the Randomize button on that window to mix-up that order and spread out the AI.

The above, posted from the AFCAD Help file. From what you describe it appears either: (i) there might not be any overflow parking spots or (ii) there is a glut of aircraft at the airport(s) in question.

So, it's either:

Do all your aircaft have assigned parking codes?

OR

You may have several traffic files operating at the same time (eg: an MRAI ANZ timetable operating in tandem with, oh, I don't know, say VOZ AI?)

Just throwing out suggestions.

Thanks for that info

In response to those questions yes all my aircraft have parking codes (like RLK for Air Nelson, ANZX for ANZ domestic etc...)

And I only have one traffic file for ANZ, which is the VOZAI one.

With Wellington one odd thing is that i have about five spill over gates for ANZ domestic, and when there only one other jet parked at the terminal, a jet arrival will go and park straight into that plane :unsure:

Could this problem occur when I have overlapping gates?

Well its been a few weeks of constant messing around and I finally got Christchurch and Sydney sorted out. :thumbup:

Wellington on the other hand still has the same problem, and I have done everything to try to stop the traffic pilling up at one gate.

please someone help :bow:

ps-does anyone know if there are any duplicate afcads that came with robins scenery? this could be the problem then if there was
