Reverse Parking Spots
« on: October 06, 2017, 12:47:45 am »
There are airports, plenty of them, that have parking spots that must be reversed into, as shown here: https://www.google.com/maps/@32.8724104,-80.0298213,372a,35y,39.4t/data=!3m1!1e3.
I believe they typically would have the plane pull a bit past the spot, then push them in to it with the tow vehicle. Does GSX handle this? If not, I believe it would be a nice feature that could be added to parking services.

 Those in the imagery would be purely towed into.

Then that would link in with the other conversation about towing between spots

Yes, it does it automatically.

If a parking heading is the opposite of the heading of the last apron link in the AFCAD, it will reverse the parking automatically so, lacking a towing feature at the moment, it will behave like a regular parking, as if its heading was aligned to the last apron link.
