Hi,

The other thing you have to worry about is the radius of the copter vs the radius of the parking place. Open AFCAD (if you have it) and go to Tools/Aircraft Editor. Then look down the list until you find that one. Click on it. Down below you will see the radius . The parking spot has to be bigger than that (in meters) for it to show up in FS. You can set AFCAD to display parking spot sizes in meters, if you don't already.

And you must have the phrase in the copter's title= line EXACTLY as written in the aircraft.txt file. Copy and paste it to make sure.

Hope this helps,
Tom Gibson

Tom is covering the point about size of the parking slot, that I made earlier.

All you have to add to the Aircraft.cfg is the parking code and have the same parking code in the AFCAD parking slot's "Properties" as I showed in the picture...As I said before you didn't quite copy it correctly because you used "cag" instead of "GAG"...Whatever code you use should preferably NOT be an existing Airline one and it must be the same in both places...AND as Tom pointed out the parking slot must be big enough in size to accomodate that aircraft.

My Spifire or Hunter GateGuards all work perfectly using this design.
