Aircraft at gate
-
Finally purchased this product and works fairly well so modestly happy with it.
The only suggestion is the gate time for long haul aircraft, obviously most short haul/intra European flights are at gate for 30 minutes to an hour usually, i assume the planes that land dont then take back off on the next rotation like in the P3D traffic? Where each individual plane has a week work of schedules to run?
The issue you get at larger airports is the lack of large long haul aircraft as these often sit on the ground much longer so only ones taking off in the time set appear, if you set a longer time you'd get too much short haul.
One possibly recommendation I would raise is having different display times pre take off for the long haul and short haul so for instance you could set all standard Short Haul Aircraft appear 1.30 hr before take off but a separate one for the A380/777/787/330/350 aircraft for instance for 3-4 hours and then aircraft would show up at airports much more realistically and populate the airports correctly with longer haul jets?

@valefan16 Hi, I think the number of long haul aircraft you see at an airport also heavily depends on whether the airport has got the correct parking positions. Example: EDDF Asobo Premium Deluxe hasn't been programmed well with regards to the aircraft radius for the parking positions. It means at any given time max. 13 long haul aircraft can spawn, which is very little. At least for EDDF, this free addon fixed this problem for me: https://flightsim.to/file/32064/airport-parking

@deepsky That also is a problem of course, frustrating landing at Gaya Kos and nothing is there for instance as the gates are too small for a short haul AC.
The main idea was for example Long Haul aircraft can be at Heathrow or Hong Kong for example for many hours so those wouldn't show if say their departure is later that day by 2-3 hours, but if you extend the planes to spawn 2-3 hours before departure you'd saturate with loads of short haul aircraft that usually would only be at gate for an hour.

@valefan16 I think I understand what you mean. If you want to see lots of long haul aircraft parked/stationary, you can help yourself by letting FSLTL run, disabling all FSLTL IFR traffic, and just setting the FSLTL 'parked aircraft' setting to a high value. Have you tried that? This obviously makes short haul aircraft spawn as well, but certainly a few long haul ones will pop up?
