Gates too close for wide-body airplanes
« on: August 18, 2012, 02:21:23 am »
Hi,
I 'm not sure that this problem has been already reported.
When I park my 777-200 Air France at terminal 2, it seems that gates are too close. As you can see on the picture attached, there is a 747 and A340 that wings are passing one over the other.
Is it an AI default? Terminal 2 is used by Air France, Virgin, Air New Zealand, Alitalia, Air China, KLM etc.... which all are operating with wide-body aircrafts.
Any solution please?  :(
Thanks
Laurent.

It's an AFCAD editing issue, I do have a fix for this where only gates 21, 23, 26-28 can accommodate the heavies and the wings aren't overlapping.

Hi NMahinK ,
Thank you for you reply.
Could you tell me how to fix the afcad, or may be could you send me your AFCAD file?
Thanks.

Thank you for your Afcad file, that's much better, more realistic. :)

Can you share a screenshot with the new Afcad?
