Airline codes and stands
« on: January 25, 2023, 03:12:12 pm »
In P3D version there was and option to display all gates or airline gates in stand selection menu. Is it missing in MSFS version?

Please clarify what do you mean, the menu entries are the same, generated by the parking names of the scenery.

In P3D if there is an airline code for a specific stand in airport customization window, list of "Gate positions for your airline" will be offered in stand selection menu, and "Show all positions" to display "All Gates Positions". In MSFS its always "All gate positions".

Ok, I understand now. It should work in MSFS as well but:

- Your airplane must have some airline codes in the atc_parking_codes of its aircraft.cfg

- The airport must have some parking codes in its parking

- If you are using the SU10 Navdata API, even if the scenery does have airline codes, they won't be returned by the API so, GSX can't read them from the scenery, unless you add them to the GSX airport profile.

yes I have atc_parking_codes = "BAW" entry in aircraft.cfg, BAW code among others in the parking, Navdata API disabled and it does not work,  still all positions are being offered.
