Missing Taxiway lines on the apron
« on: January 16, 2020, 11:19:02 am »
There are a lot of missing or incorrect taxiway lines on the apron near the main terminal as can be seen from a comparison of images of the addon and Google maps. This does affect negatively the realism of the addon. Could you please update the addon in order to eliminate this deficiency?

Would appreciaite your answer.

Thanks Regards
Enrico

There's nothing missing, "incorrect" and the scenery doesn't have any "deficiency". The photo on Google maps is already outdated, a lot of these lines have been remodeled, and they looked black on google because they were in the act of being erased, the correct ones are the colored one, which we have in the scenery in the correct location.

Since these lines will be all fade away and/or completely covered when all the rework is done, we decided not to waste precious fps to add extra polygons for something that is not used anymore and will soon not visible anymore and, of course, for realism's sake, the scenery should match the charts, that's why we already released a small patch the first that to fix Gate 28, which is another example of a position that has been moved because of the extensive reworking that has been made on the apron.

Thank you for your answer and explanation. However a youtube video from 11/19 (
) shows clearly a yellow and a blue taxi line entering the apron on the north side of he terminal. Furthermore the actual AIP France shows three taxi lines entering the apron north and south marked in different colours. What is your advice?

Thanks and regards
Enrico

Your video shows something that is BOTH different than the AIP you posted AND the image on Google maps, which you initially referred to. For example, the sign in your video at 6:54 shows a "42 to 29" marking while the Google Maps shows "42 to 39", and the AIP is not even matching the video.

That's the result of that area having just being reworked so, it would be best to get at least an updated image from Google Maps as a reference, since it's clear from your video the *actual* shape of the lines is not really represented on the AIP, so we couldn't use only that one to base the scenery on.

Well, I don't know which data base you have utilised to develop the addon. Perhaps the airport can provide an actual apron map to you.
