EGLL Stands
« on: April 10, 2012, 07:37:06 pm »
At EGLL stands appear to be ordered by letter. Meaning that for the majority of stands, there is a big list, eg docks, gates, a gates... Most gates at EGLL come under gates, starting with 1 for terminal 1, 2 for 2, 3 for 3, ... 6 for cargo. Would it not be better to organise them by starting with 1,2,3,4,5,6?

If the airport is taken from the AFCAD, the order is alphabetical. And FSX doesn't allow to name things like "Terminal 1", it only knows the "Gate" ( from A to Z ), or "Parking" or "Dock" keyword, and you can't name a terminal just with a number.

If an airport is fully customized, like our own, we can override the AFCAD names in any way we want, look at FSDT KLAX for an example, but this won't work automatically with any random FSX airport, were the names are taken exactly as they are in the AFCAD, so they follow FSX restrictions.
