KC135 Parking Radius

Post by supernova48 »

Hey guys,
Just installed the new GLANG Pt1 package and replaced PAI KC-135 with the MGAI KC-135. While checking out the parking codes with Owl AI-Aircraft Editor (making sure the codes were the same for KGUS), I noticed the parking radius for FSX is 7, whereas the PAI KC-135 is 22. The editor says the wingspan on the MGAI KC-135 is 45.8 feet, whereas the PAI lists at 142.4. The FS9 radius remains unchanged (at 34).

I know these aircraft were designed for FS9, but why would wingspan only be 45.8'. I know that wingspan drives parking radius in FSX but KC135 parking in size 7 parking could create some wing overlap issues.

Thanks,
Ken

Ok, I figured there was some "rocket science" involved.

Thanks for the response,
Ken
