Earthplane Posted April 28 Posted April 28 Hi, I've recently been getting familiar with FSTL AI traffic but, realised at LHR, the location of where airlines are parked is somewhat realistic however, a lot is inaccurate. Let's start off with BA. Predominantly based at T5 which is depicted in-game, however, there is also BA aircraft at T3, T2, and T4 within your scenery, which is incorrect. BA does not use T4 anymore and has never used T2. At T3, BA usually always uses gates 342, 340, 336, 334, 351, and 357 for the B777-200 and sometimes the A350. BA also sometimes uses 328, 326, 351, 355, 311, 309, and also 305(L + R). Within T5, Iberia A320 neos and the occasional A330/A350 will park here. BA and Iberia are the only 2 airlines to operate from T5. However, as appointed in your scenery there is other airlines allocated slots at T5, which is incorrect. Within T5, the remote stands 596, 595, 594, 582 and 583, it is not uncommon to see airlines such as virgin, Qantas or Cathay parking their aircraft there during a long stay. More commonly though, Qantas will park their A380s or 787s on 595 or 594. This leads to the Airlines at T3. Currently, a major operator that uses T3 is Emirates who will mostly always use the 307, 305, 303, and 301 stands because this is where their lounge is situated. However in your scenery, Emirates are nowhere to be seen at T3, instead they are located at T4. Airlines that use T3 are listed below: Aeromexico American Airlines Beijing Capital Airlines Cathay (Usual park at stand 342. 340 or 336) China Airlines Delta Emirates Finnair Hainan Airlines Iran Air Japan Airlines LATAM MEA Qantas Royal Jordanian Sri Lankan Airlines Tianjin Airlines Virgin Atlantic Vistara Within T2, the following airlines are situated here: Aegean Airlines Aer Lingus Air Canada Air India ANA Asiana Airlines Austrian Avianca Brussels Airlines Croatia Airlines Egyptair Ethiopian Airlines Eurowings EVA Air Icelandair Loganair LOT Polish Airlines Lufthansa SAS Shenzen Airlines Singapore Swiss TAP Thai Airways Turkish Airlines United Airlines (The most predominant airline at T2 occupying the north side of the satellite terminal) Finally, at T4 the airlines allocated slots here are: Air Algerie Air Astana Air France Air Serbia Azerbaijan Airlines Biman Bangladesh Airlines Bulgaria Air China Eastern China Southern El Al Etihad Gulf Air Kenya Airways KLM KM Malta Airlines Korean Air Kuwait Airways Malaysian Airlines Oman Air Qatar Royal Air Maroc Royal Brunei Airlines RwandAir Saudia Tarom Tunisair Uzbekistan Airways Vietnam Airlines Vueling WestJet If these changes to the AI could be implemented that would be amazing, as it would increase the immersion on coming into land or taking of from LHR. It does seem like a killer pulling up tp T5 and there's an American Airlines aircraft sitting at the gate nearby... It would also be amazing if you could allocate the airline stands to the particular counterpart gates/stands they use IRL, and this would increase the immersion drastically.
qwertyplanes Posted April 29 Posted April 29 Hi, Do you have the 'additional parked aircraft’ setting in FSLTL turned on? As the AFCAD has T5 set up with only BAW and IBE so there shouldn't be any American aircraft at T5 and there isn't Emirates at T4 so I have a suspicion that FSLTL may be playing a roll in this.

Hey, I did have additional parking on, I've set this to 0 and tried it but still, American is spawning at LHR. Air France is at T3 even though IRL, as listed, they are parked at T4. As well as Iberia and WestJet at T2... Below are the settings I have set in FSLTL. 11:42:23 Max Active VFR Aircraft (0=disabled): 0 11:42:23 Additional Airline Parked Aircraft (0=disabled / 10=max): 0 (no maximum per airport) 11:42:23 Additional GA Parked Aircraft (0=disabled / 10=max): 0 (no maximum per airport) 11:42:23 Max Radius to Inject Airborne Aircraft (25-150km): 85 11:42:23 Max Radius to Inject Ground Aircraft (10-150km): 50
Earthplane Posted May 10 Author Posted May 10 Is there any updates regarding this topic? Additionally, I noticed aircraft departing off runway 09L, and only during COVID was this runway/direction used for landing/take-off operations. Now, 09L is only used for landings with 09R for take-offs and the occasional freighter landing on 09R.
