![]() defining the airport but leaving the apt.dat to x-plane or not using exclusion zones). If, in the meantime, somewhere, there is a third party free-ware KBOS that has loads of freeware planes and _doesn’t_ replace the apt.dat, then there will -already- be a conflict! None of what I have described depends on the new plan only on authors making scenery packs that are not “defensive” (e.g. I would expect this would be approved and recommended if I have not screwed it up. If I want to fly at KBOS and I go to the airport and I find only 5 ramp starts defined, I can go in, define ALL of them in WED, and upload to the gateway. Re: freeware, I think this is -already- a problem. LOL – it was a rhetorical question – of course your answer is correct, but this is -why- we need dynamic AI placement. 1040 is the next ‘big’ release where crazy stuff can go and this feature is just barely complex enough that it needs a big release. Also, 1035 is already in beta so it missed that boat. * We have two release sizes: big and small. The longer we place static aircraft as OBJs, the more cleanup we will have to do. 10.40) so we can all be working on gateway airports that place static aircraft the new “right way” for future expansion. We can vary the static aircraft over time and take advantage of ramp types in the apt.dat file.The level of static aircraft can be turned up and down based on hardware capabilities.An airport can be “emptied out” for online flight.AI planes and static planes do not conflict.Here’s my idea for a fix: X-Plane places static aircraft at real apt.dat ramp starts dynamically based on library paths and apt.dat information. This is a clearly inflexible and non-ideal solution. If you use the AI, X-Plane will park AI planes at the ramp starts, so you must not put ramp starts where the static planes are.If you do place static aircraft, they can conflict with real pilots on Pilot’s Edge, VATSIM, or any other online network.If you don’t place static aircraft, airports with AI planes disabled look empty.If you use third party scenery packs for custom scenery, you can get even more aircraft types. Right now, you can place static aircraft in an X-Plane scenery pack using the library if the aircraft come from our library, they can go into the gateway.
