Customizing Parking spots
« on: June 05, 2012, 01:29:53 am »
Suddenly my ability to customize a parking spot will not work, I open up the interface select parking has a jetway, disable the stairs and the bus and hit apply, It used to alert me that it was saved then close down (something to that regard) but now nothing happens, so I just close it, and go back into fsx, none of my options  are saved, the stairs and bus still show up.

Have you changed the AFCAD used for that airport ?

No changes at any of my airports, its not just one particular airport, its any of them, I going to try re installing the stand alone addon manager again and see if this resolves the issue.

Virtualli or anyone that has figured out how to do this.. Just a quick question.. How is it that you change the ground handlers again to recognize your Airline.. I had done alittle updating reflecting couple changes at couple airports one being LAS where United/Continental now has gate D-50 at KLAS.. When I had the GSX load my plane I had a split between a SWA & Spirit belt loader when it should of been just United. At the time it didn't really matter to me, no big deal but next time I'd like to have it where United ramp handles my plane, so how do I go about changing the ramp again ?? So next time I fly to LAS at gate 50 it will be my own United ramp handling my ground services for my United/Continental flights ?

This seems to indicate you don't have the most current version installed, because this problem should have been fixed a while ago.

As explained in the forum, and of course in the manual, it's a *SCORING* system. The vehicle repaint with the highest score will be selected.

If a vehicle repaint is matching the ICAO of the airport with 1 character it will score 1 point. If the whole ICAO is matched, it will score 4 points so, a vehicle repaint with a "K" in its couatl.icaocodes parameter, will always lose at KLAX, against a vehicle repaint with a "KLAX". If two vehicles repaints match KLAX, they will both get equal chance to be selected, at random.

In case of a tie, if a vehicle repaint is matching the atc airline code of the PARKING, it will get an additional 0.5 points boost, so it will "win" against all vehicles with just the full ICAO. But, if there are more than one airline code in that parking that matches vehicle repaints, all matching ones will get 4,5 points, and the selection will be again random.
