Helicopters misaligned on parkingspots

Rotorcrafts are consistently placed off-center on parking spots. I see this
with the Cabri, 206, 407, H145 and mini 500. Is this done on purpose? And if
so: Is there a certain logic I could use to compensate?

Hello @Pieter I was able to reproduce the problem. I added a bug to our
backlog for it. Any reason you use TaxiwayParking objects instead of Helipad?

Hi Sylvain! Absolutely :slight_smile: On helipads the helicopter will by default start
ready for take-off. A lot of people want to start cold & dark. Hence the use
of parking spots. Ideally, a switch to start either “cold & dark” or “ready
for take-off” would be added to the world menu. But I get that that is a lot
more work. In my custom heliports, I usually add only 1 helipad to have the
airport be defined as helipad and the rest of the ‘spawn points’ as parking
spots.

Ok, that makes sense. I can’t tell when and how this will be addressed. In the
meantime, I guess offsetting the parking object backwards to compensate is
your best option.
