Ben Gurion: Impossible to put heavy liners on parkings

[jef32]

Hi

I wanted to create a civilian liners trafic starting at Ben Gurion and it's impossible to put larger AI airplanes than A320 or B727 on the parking. If you try, the heavier liners than these, are automaticatly sent on Tel Nof parking . On the Ben Gurion airport of Sinai map, no problem with that, all planes are accepted.

ED could you fix that please ?

Hi mate

Those are community mods you're mentioning. You can't expect ED and 3rd party devs to accommodate for user made mods.

Now if you also can't place any "heavies" from the core game (KC-135, Il-76, B-52 etc.), that would be something to report here as a bug.

(oh, and by the way, Syria is from Ugra Media. So if something needs fixing on this map, it's up to Ugra, not ED)

I'll try to place official heavies, just to see. I'll tell you next.

[jef32]

So I've tried with IL-76 and with B-52H which are official ED IA planes and it's the same: Impossible to place them as start from parking on Ben Gurion Airport.

So, it's useless to enhance a map ( the best map for DCS I must say)  and its airports, if we haven't possibility to place the planes made for these airports, officlal planes or third-part mods.

Some large 4-engine jet liners:

I don't understand your message Draconus. Why are you showing me real satellite pictures of Ben Guryon airport ? I know that it's an international airport, the biggest civilian airport of Israël state. My message is precisely about the fact that we can't place this kind of planes as IA (except start on runway, aligned with engines ON ) on the parkings of Ben Guryon airport.

This is for the devs, to prove that such planes land and park there IRL. @MAESTR0?

[jef32]

Ah Ok but they surely know because no problem of this kind with the Ben Gurion airport of the Sinaï map. I presume that each devellopers enterprise knows the work of their rivals.

Sinai map by OnReTech is also uncompleted about spawn-taxi-able aircrafts' sizes about Ben-Gurion, 
even larger a/c allowed than UM's Syria.
KC-135 size ~ IL-76 / C-17 sizes are allowed in Sinai's TLV , B-52 ~ A330 ~ B747 ~ B777 ~ C-5 are still not.

Today I watch AI aircrafts taxing before takeoff / after landed in Syria's Ben Gurion.

Their taxi routes are odd ones ..... turning into small aprons only built for B737 / A320 or business jets instead of going straight on main wider taxiways.

DCS's core system and Mission Editor use total information about "aircraft types' capabilities of taxi-in / spawn-out --- from/to which slots ok or none ? " not only parking slots' LxW size , but also all passing taxiways' width enough or not.

Then my thought is taxi route bug might bring allowing only small jets available spawn or taxi-in about Ben Gurion.

I'll post another topic about taxi route bug report and better taxi routes suggestion.
