Aircraft to Parking

Post by wbunnell »

After an aircraft lands, it is supposed to exit the runway at the closest taxiway to the parking spot?

Testing Drive through Parking at Hickham PHNL, all, aircraft exit left, all except the KC-10.

All parking spots are to the Northwest off end of Runway 8R.

The First KC-10 Exits Left, all subsequent KC-10s exit Right.

The hold short nods are correct, no faults, found. Is this one of FS9 weird things, or can it be corrected.

Nope. It will generally exit at the nearest twy exit beyond where it finishes its landing roll, provided that this exit can lead to the parking spot it has been assigned. If there is no such exit beyond where it finishes its landing roll, it will back-track to the nearest such exit behind where it finishes its landing roll.

Both aircraft exit at the same runway nod, one left, and one right.

There are 5 taxiways at that nod.

Well, that is as expected then. The aircraft are exiting at the first exit after they finish their landing roll. And they exit onto twys that will lead them to their parking spots, eventually.

By placing node ahead of the normal exit node, running a line to a new hold short node, then to the to the return taxiway plumbing, the problem appears to be solved, I hope.
