No parking spots in airports

Postby TwistTornado » Sat Oct 16, 2021 4:30 pm

Whenever I try to spawn at an airport, I don't get an option to spawn at a parking space like the terminal or anything. This is happening with all of the airports, by the way. This only started happening today. I've tried choosing different planes but the option to spawn at a parking space just doesn't show up.

If it matters, I'm playing on an iMac Mojave, and on FlightGear 2020.3.11.

what airport(s)? they may have scuffed ground nets...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

then you'll need to explain better... what do you mean you "get no option"??

in the launcher, when you select your location, there's a box at the bottom where you can select your parking space... to select it, just click on it in the map...

The same thing is happening to me too.
All parking lots have disappeared, from all airports since yesterday.

probably due to one of the scenery servers being offline for construction work... it should repair itself now that the server is back online...

apparently there were files that were downloaded (http 404 responses) and (mistakenly) saved... since they do not match the files on the server they will be updated to match which should fix the problem...

Ok so now only BIKF and PHNL have the little circle which allows you to spawn at a parking spot. What do I need to do?

nothing except wait for the others to fix themselves as your FG downloads the proper files...

unless you were asking something else and i have misunderstood you...

Maybe because you have to spawn their manually.
Flying is so magical, just hearing the hum of the engines as I plow through the blue yonder...
