Missing FS-Traffic B777 and A380 AI Traffic due to small gate sizes

[twilfert]

Hello, I noted that there is no AI traffic under FS-Traffic for large aircraft’s as B777 and A380. I understood that AI traffic would only show up if the gate size is larger than the aircraft’s wingspans. The wingspans is 61m for the B777 and 80m for the A380.
I noted that the gate size radius for the heavy gates at LSZH is set to 28m. Therefore, such aircraft’s do not show up.

Is there a way to adjust the heavy gate size radius to more than 31m to see B777 and gate 67 to more than 40m to see the A380?

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Tilo

I would appreciate this too since I cannot find a way to edit the afcad myself.

Thank you!!

The problem is only the A380, because I just checked now, and we have several gates large enough for 777/747, with a radius larger of 33+ meters:

E32, E26, E20, E33, E43, E49, E57, E67

If you checked the radius on GSX, it might be different because that's only used to drive the default vehicle starting position ( if it's not further customized ), but AI won't use that, what counts is the size in the airport .BGL which are surely enough for B747/B777, but I see we should add the ones for A380, which I think are only a couple.

Hm weird, I can see the A380 using FSTraffic injected by FSLTL. However, it's always at the wrong gate (E19, it should be at E67).

but I see we should add the ones for A380, which I think are only a couple.

Could you PLEASE add airline coded parking while you're at it? Or at least decrypt the .BGL so we as a community could do it ourselves? Always seeing airlines at gates they shouldn't be at hurts my heart as a LSZH lover.

 You could also adjust the wingspan= entry in the aircraft.cfg for the A380 to match the 777-300ER or even smaller. Far easier to adjust the aircraft then it will work at far more airports worldwide.

You are right. I have found the B77W in the meantime at some gates.

I just did as you proposed and I see the issue solved with the new wingspan for the A380. It also resolved the same issue at other airports (e.g. OMDB) as well. Thank you for this simple and effective fix

 It will work at every airport around the world! But it will introduce overlapping wings from A380's, but that is an acceptable outcome imo.
