Hi! I have some rather small gates at my airport that are intended for A320
and B737 aircraft but nothing bigger, nothing smaller. The default aircraft
“asobo-aircraft-generic-airliner-twinengines” apparently is too big for these
gates but always pops up when I set the radius to allow a A320/B737: Radius:
17.88m = only smaller GA aircraft show up. Radius: 17.90m = both A320 and too
big “asobo-aircraft-generic-airliner-twinengines” show up. Is there a way to
differentiate between those two so “asobo-aircraft-generic-airliner-
twinengines” isn’t spawned anymore for certain gates while having only the
default A320 showing up? “asobo-aircraft-generic-airliner-twinengines”
apparently has a much larger wingspan than the A320 but seems to show up with
the same radius settings.
What are you trying to get to show up and for what situations? Can you map it
out in more detail? I’ve been working on KBED. Yes, lot of BBJ’s frequent this
airport, but typically mostly Global Explorer / Longitude / CJ-4 style jets.
Unless the plane is exactly a CJ-4 (I haven’t seen any Longitudes), Always the
“GEN” twin engine jet is used for all twin engine jets. So there’s lots of the
model you refer to frequenting the airport. I’m not sure how to possibly
address this using the ICAO codes for model matching, given, unless there’s an
exact match to either airline or plane, all you can vary on is number of
engines and jet, and maybe turbulence factor (if there’s any variation on
that, not likely). Hence, what are we supposed to do to get the “right size”
generic jet matched? It’s especially hard since any given generic model of
plane can only be one model of plane in the sim, and there’s literally
hundreds of models of twin engine jets of a huge variety of sizes. So…
this is a really important question to me, too, how the sim handles model
matching, and I’m not sure how it could be solved. Which brings me back to…
I’m not sure I understand exactly what you’re asking for… what solution are
you looking for? Could you explain what you want in more detail?

I’d be happy to have one of the 4 sizes vs the one, CJ-4 for small jets,
Longitude for Medium, A320 for regional, and Larger for trans-continental. But
I don’t know how to get there when all you know is it’s a twin engine jet. And
then the parking radius rules for matching parked/AI aircraft placement are
wicked archaic and we don’t even know all the variables that are controlling
it. So… this is a really important question to me, too, how the sim handles
model matching, and I’m not sure how it could be solved. Which brings me back
to… I’m not sure I understand exactly what you’re asking for… what

It’s hard to develop a solution unless you have good requirements to go by…
and I’m struggling how to define something that’s solvable based on what I
know, which isn’t much.
I resize manually the parkings on my sceneries. Can you do the same? Regards.
That’s exactly what he’s doing. At 17.8 m radius, no A320’s (which is what he
wants to show up). At 17.9 m, A320’s and 737’s show up, as well as larger
planes, which he doesn’t want.
Eventually found out that the only way to fix this is to deactivate generic
aircraft all together and leaving an FAQ entry for that with the airport I’m
currently working at:
Q: For smaller gates I see some weird AI aircraft that are “poking” their
noses into the terminal building!
A: Many stands only allow B737/A320 sized aircraft. Deactivate: General
Options → Traffic → Use generic aircraft models (AI Traffic) This deactivates
unusually large generic twin engine aircraft, which are too big for these
types of gates.
