Can anyone help with this one ??? This is working with one aircraft model ,departing at one airport. How do you make 10 aircrafts with just one model and get ATC call them the same name. (example) make 10 fedex 727, and ATC call them Fedex 795, Fedex 694, Fedex 253 and in the flight plan I did show a F etc. Now on the flight plan I show the same name 10 time and in aircraft sheet Doc make 10 flight plans but it does'nt work. Sad

I down loaded a DC10 and tried to create more title in the aircraft file no help. Do you have to get 10 different model and changed the texture . How can you work with just one model and make 10 aircrafts show up at one airport. Is there any good info. Some acfts the author will not let you chage anything in the Air file. HELP Cry

One Aircraft model can be used for multiple flights (see example below). In this case AC#3403 is used as N742SW, N759GS and N733SA. Did you give each one a different N number? That might be holding up the AI traffic from working.

AC#3403,N742SW,55%,WEEK,IFR,0/00:39:23,0/02:30:07,330,F,0888,KBDL...
AC#3403,N759GS,86%,WEEK,IFR,0/00:44:18,0/03:42:43,350,F,2497,KPHX
AC#3403,N733SA,25%,WEEK,IFR,0/01:03:59,0/04:47:56,370,F,2814,KMCO

Are you using FS2002 or FS2004???
If you are using FS2002 then by downloading AFCAD yu can alter the radius of the aircraft using AITM and match it up with the parking space of the same size
Radius is the prime factor in directing AI aircraft to park.
If you are using FS2004 you need AFCAD2 where you use the name of the airline to primarily match aircraft to parking.
The AFCAD2 has a aircraft editor that looks at all your AI aircraft and you can insert Airline designation and type of parking etc
Lee Swordy details all this in the readme file on both AFCADs
Once you get the hang of it you cant stop yourself

2004 afcad , Still having trouble, can't seem to keep the 727,747,DC10 etc, Angry

apart. How do you keep 747 in one spot etc. Do you have to do anything to the aircraft folder file?

I'm currently working on my local airport in FS2004, and i'm learning alot about the limitations of afcad's parking assignment system. If there isn't enough parking, planes will park in spots that are assigned to other airlines, so make sure you got lots of parking. The only sure way of getting certain aircraft/airlines to park in certain spaces is to use both the parking codes and the radius methods in combination.
To answer your question about where to edit in the aircraft folder, you must add the parking codes in each aircraft entry in the aircraft config file. Like so: atc_parking_codes=FDX
Another thing you can do is make your cargo parking "RAMP" and add this to your config: atc_parking_types=RAMP
