KIAH Afcad faults
« on: July 06, 2014, 01:25:05 pm »
Opened Afcad with ADE, due to wings overlapping from large (foreign) aircraft at the D terminal and other parking issues I checked the Afcad for faults.

There were quite a few issues.

Duplicate Parking
Altitude
Open links
Jetway use.

Is there any chance of getting a new Afcad which resolves the problem.

P.S.
KIAH is a great airport but like others I would have liked a few more "objects scattered around the airport.

Duplicate Parking

Not a problem, if they don't use a jetway. All those duplicate parking don't have jetways.

Altitude

1mm difference ? FSX can't even resolve that, because the smallest altitude difference in the AFCAD is 1/128th of a meter.

Open links

There aren't any. They are mistakenly reported as such because they are vehicles paths intentionally made in order not to cross normal apron links.

Jetway use.

Not a problem either. They are reported as errors by ADE, because the parking is intentionally flagged as GA to get rid of default ground vehicles (like all our airports), but they have a jetway, and ADE finds this to be strange, but it's not really an issue, the jetway works.

There are other things that can be improved, like adjusting some parking size and adding some GA parkings, but none of these are problems.

Thanks to both of you for your replies, it seems a lot clearer now.

Downloaded the Afcad and with a few minor personal adjustment concerning  airline assignments the airport

is looking better.
