I cannot get plane in parking state to work.

Start sim
select aircraft, put in parking spot
Fly
SIMvarwatcher says false for aircraft inparking state.

How do you get this to work?

The docs don’t really explain what parking state is; A:PLANE IN PARKING STATE, bool will be 1 when you are in the menu or hangar, and once you begin loading a flight it will be 0 regardless of whether you pick a ramp position or not.

https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Programming_Tools/SimVars/Aircraft_SimVars/Aircraft_Misc_Variables.htm?rhhlterm=PLANE%20PARKING%20STATE

I don’t know of a way to determine that you are in a real parking spot on the ramp except to query facilities data.

ATC ON PARKING SPOT is the sim var to use. Seems to work. If you move an inch it goes to zero false
