ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
I have been noticing in this beta that AI airliners are incorrectly parking in GA aircraft parking spots. This happens now at many GA airports I fly into, be it generic or bespoke. For example, the screenshots in this bug topic are from Telluride (KTEX), but I’ve seen the same at Bathurst airport (YBTH) and Redcliffe Aero Club (YRED), amongst others.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Many times in SU5.1
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
-
If you are using any 3rd-party AI traffic products, you’ll need to temporarily disable them so that they do not inject any traffic into the sim (parked or flying).
-
Settings - Please see my settings at the end of this topic. To repro, it may be necessary to duplicate some or all of them. For example: Aircraft Traffic Type: AI Offline Experimental; Parked Aircraft Quantity: Low; Parked Aircraft Variety: Ultra; Aircraft Traffic Quantity: Low; Aircraft Traffic Variety: Ultra. Higher quantity settings might be OK too, but these are my settings.
-
In Free Flight, select any aircraft and spawn into any parking spot at YBTH, YRED or KTEX. Just for ease of visibility, set the time & weather to any daylight hour & clear skies.
-
Change to the drone camera & fly around the airport. You should see at least one jetliner incorrectly parked in a GA parking spot. The location can change from flight to flight - it is not specific to any one parking spot.
YOUR SETTINGS
What peripherals are you using, if relevant:
N/A
[PC Only] Are you using Developer Mode or have you made any changes to it?
No, No - though note that dev mode was enabled to get the information shown in a couple of screenshots below.
Note how the sphere size is much smaller for the airliner, relative to its size, compared to the GA aircraft. Could this be a contributing factor to the issue?
[PC, MSFS 2020 Only] Are you using DX11 or DX12?
