Is this a new feature in v3.5.9? The guideline between airstairs to guide PAX around the wing - never noticed it before... A very nice idea, but there is a little placement problem:
As you can see in the image, PAX are - as of now - walking through the guideline when approaching the rear stairs. My best guess is, that the PAX walkway is oriented at the left wing cone placement, but the guideline post is not (yet). It is placed much further out.
Airframe in the picture is the Fenix A321 (IAE), using the developer provided profile.

I'm not an expert on this by any means but I think the problem is in the path that has been drawn for the passengers to walk which is in the GSX profile for the airport/stand

No, not really: The passenger walking path from a/c to gate, that is defined in the GSX airport/stand profile starts where the PAX paths from rear and front stairs meet (in this case at the front-left of the aircraft). The path around the wingtip must be set somewhere else. My guess is, it is defined in a general config, and depends on the left wing cone placement - which then again is set in the aircraft profile. Maybe I'm wrong about the dependencies, but that would make most sense to me. The center post of the guideline should be placed very near the left wingtip cone as well, I think, or at least be dependant on the walking path around the wingtip - or vice versa.

I have checked all my cusomized positions where I have defined passengers path and I don't have any path defined across the security rope sector. No path under the wing (see picture 1) ! But this was not intentional, just luck !
With this design,it is the code who decide where are going passengers from my last defined point. OK, they don't walk in the forbiden sector, like on your picture. They pass through the rope carrier (see picture 2). Umberto, maybe a 50cm magin would be better, don't you think ?
pjoerg, do-you have a PAX path defined in the security rope sector ?

No, I don't. My custom PAX paths start with Waypoint #1 at the front-left of the plane, just like yours (see screenshot). If Umberto is reading this, I'd say co-locating the security rope center post with the left wing tip cone (x and/or y +/- 0.3m) would probably solve this for all planes and airport profiles.

Interesting, effectively this nice new feature need some more refinements.
