Title: land and vanish!
Post by fm3 on Mar 2^nd, 2003 at 2:55am

My airports are in good shape ( all check out fine with AFCAD fault finder...parking spots are fine, etc.) but at KATL all the jets vanish after landing and going down the runway a bit. The prop planes don't do this. There's lots of available parking of the correct size. I'll probably see this at other airports too; some of them are very empty despite the fact that I have lots of flightplans for them.

This happens with my own flightplans and PAI flightplans.

if you don't have enough parking spots the planes disappear after landing.

if you think you have enough of them, are you sure you linked them all to a taxiway in AFCAD?

My afcad files all check out with the fault finder. There are definitely plenty of parking spaces ( roughly 20% of the spaces are occupied with the rest being open...and spaces are of the appropriate sizes too), and all are connected to taxiways. I am very freaked out by this.

This doesn't seem to happen at every airport...KATL is terrible though. Only props don't vanish. Why should jets only vanish?

Things seem OK now...I played around a bit and the problem seems to be gone...going to keep an eye on it though.
