known issue Is this a valid parking position ?

[Jel]

I wondered if this is intentional:

(Nose over foul line, deck status shows "clear")

Not valid for Hornets that's for sure. SH-60s are supposed to go there.

Even worse if Tomcats park there. Definitely not correct.

Did ED test their new deck crew feature with the T45 ? Or how come such "obvious" things make it into release ?

Saltmode aside, the issue is not just the parking itself but also the taxi INTO this position. AI and players alike, do have to taxi over the line, deck status "foul", which is often ignored by landing AI aircraft, causing collisions.

To draconus' point about the Tomcats, nose way over the foul line. Furthermore, the system ignores static objects that the manual explicitly states should be taken into account by the taxi route and parking slot logic. It also incorrectly judges the Tomcat's width, as if I remove the S-3 from Elev. 2 I would have been directed to park there instead.
