FSX PMDG 777 cockpit issue with KJFK
« on: September 13, 2018, 05:09:34 pm »
Hello to all. Loaded in FSX the plane PMDG 777 in FSDT KJFK Gate A-223 and other gate as well. Found a rare object or something from outside of airport mixed with T7 cockpit at different angles. Any ideas to fix it?

Have you seen that parking ? It surely cannot handle a 777

What do you mean seen that parking? It seems to me the catering truck is in the wrong spot, and is therefore "puncturing" the flight deck, causing the view problem?

The rest of my sentence should clarified what I meant. You really parked a 777 on A-223 ?? It's a parking made for very small planes, and I wonder how you were even able to call GSX there, unless you customized it to override the parking radius or the wingspan, and force a 777 there.

Or, possibly, you have another AFCAD from another scenery in conflict ? Check the name of the AFCAD in use by GSX, and see if it's the one that comes with FSDT KJFK.

I didn't change anything and I didn't call GSX. From sim starting location was Gate A 223 RAMP GA LARGE so, I guess is for a large plane as 777 or 747 right? I can't find the name of AFCAD from GSX but my airport scanner found files appr_KJFK.bgl and KJFK_FSDT.bgl What do say?

That's the issue. If you used GSX to go there with the "Warp me here" menu option, it wouldn't allowed you to select it, because it's a parking too small for an airliner. But the simulator itself doesn't check this, and will let you park everywhere.

Ok, I see your confusion. In order to prevent the simulator to create its own ground vehicles that can easily conflict with GSX and other details around the apron, we labeled all parkings as GA.

But if you use the GSX menu, with the "Warp me here" function, you'll see all parkings listed with their real life names (the simulator naming convention is too limited to represent JFK), and it will tell you which ones are suitable for your airplane.

That's correct. But you still shouldn't park there with a large airliner.
